Summer 2023

 Another long hot summer, but the yard creatures love
the water Grandpa puts out for them!
Friends we've known since 1974 stopped to
visit July 2-5th!  They've lived in Austria for
the past 45 ish years.  So great to see them again!
1978 and 2023!
 
A few days after our friends left, we drove over to LA.
We went to help Beka sell stuff and clean out her apartment!
So fun to get to see James... 
He took us to Malibu beach & 
celebrated the 2 guys' belated birthdays!!
He toured us around Disney Animation Studios,
 where he works... had a picnic in a park near his apartment, 
and had a great time just hanging out!  
We stayed in Beka's apartment, 
sold all her stuff, cleaned it all 
and loaded stuff in a trailer to move home!
Many beautiful plants joined us in the air conditioned car
and have a new home in AZ for a while!!  

 


I spent all summer scanning old family photos from 
1974 - 2006 ish  - before things went digital!
An indoor (where it's cool) job!!
Here's a link to all the albums ... 1000's of pics!
Next job is converting old VHS tapes to digital...
Takin a break for a while ;)
 
We had Caden over for his 11th birthday & a spend the night! 
It's so great getting time alone with each of these special
grands!  Caden (the 'engineer') loved playing with
Fischertechnik toys for hours ... and eating pizza
and watching movies!
