The sitting girls.

Catch of the day

Last week Nathan and I caught a 20+ pound shovel nose shark. After 45 minutes of wrestling it through the surf, Nathan was able to grab its tail and bring it to shore. We let it go after the picture.

Today, Kong, Kaydee, Kayla, Nathan and I went fishing at Del Mar. We caught Perch, Corbina, and Croaker. We ate all of these tonight.

Fiddling?

Ben and I are taking a fiddling class this summer. We had our first performance which sounded awful! Ben's comment was that Jamie (the boy next to him) was playing too fast. Bob was watching Liam on the playground, and came over to hear us. He said for a moment he thought we were just "warming up," but then realized we were playing a piece.

Thankfully, we were not playing in OUR neighborhood. I hope nobody from work spotted me.

Happy Birthday Sarah

Enjoy the last year of 40s.

Please Post Photos From the Reunion

Liam and I have returned to rainy and cold Seattle. I'm so happy we had a few days in New York to swim and boat. It was great to see everyone. Wish it could have been longer!

Tim and Chris-- pleas post some of your photos.

Finally, summer is here.

Ben's birthday cake, and scenes from our day at Susie's. She's put the property on the market again. I'm trying to convince some well off friends to buy the big house, and we'll buy a small share to include the studio over the garage. They are nibbling at the bait so maybe...
