Golf Stances

I have been scanning family photos some this summer - A very long process, as our family, especially the Pier side, is inclined to take a lot of photos whenever possible. I love this series of photos. I have to assume that Rusty took them. I have no idea of the year, but it was easy for me to identify all of the subjects. Who can you name?

New Friends and New Stairs

We have made new friends this summer. The raccoons that lurk in the block to the west of us have adopted out pond for their nightly watering and ablutions. They seem to leave the cats alone, which we appreciate. The other night I was on the phone with Ed - lounging on my chair in the front yard - when they paraded up the stairs and calmly into the back yard. I managed to get this picture of one of htem. So now we hae bats flying above and raccoons in the water!


These are the stairs that we have lived with for the last 19 years - the big chunk broke off the bottom step just before winter 2008. You can't really see all of the cracks and holes and all, but believe me - they were there!

These are out pretty new stairs now. We didn't get them totally replaced - but a gentleman did come in and repair the problem spots and recoat all of them. They are so pretty - and smooth and nice on your feet. And now we don't have to worry about anyone stumbling on the chunk of concrete. Come see our pretty stairs some time!

Robisons Came to Town

We got lucky this summer and the Robison's stopped by for a visit. Well, almost the whole family. Nathan couldn't come, so he sent his twin sister Nichole. We had diner at Cafe Rio, talked alot and walked alot. It was just really good to see them again.
Audrey is always more than happy to hold Tyler's hand or sit on his lap. That is much better than at Christmas time, when she used to always cry when she looked at him! Her taste has gotten much better.
