Make a Memory

Laura's sister Maureen and her boyfriend Michael spent a great couple of days in NYC. They attended a gallery opening for their friend Roger Shimomura. We had the opportunity to meet Roger in Kansas City in March.

We heard this Bon Jovi song on Graham Norton and it really made us think of Kansas City and the special time we spent there with Maureen and Michael.

On the way home from Camarillo we stopped in Santa Monica for a bite to eat at
il Cucini and shared mussels and calamari while enjoying the breeze off the Pacific on their lovely patio before returning to the heat of Palm Desert.

A couple of weeks ago we visited with John's family in Camarillo. Sunday was fun as it was Hat day at church. Thats why most of us are wearing hats. Laura and I made grilled salmon for everyone sat. nite. We went to the Camarillo Fiesta on Saturday, ate some great food, saw some really cool cars, and heard some great music.

We took a trip to St. George, UT in May so I could finally meet John's wonderful son Cameron. It was pretty cool to make at trip back to that State together after making several to visit my family there in the 70's. We had a really good time with Cameron, his wife Mary Ellen and the cutest, sweetest granddaughter in the whole world, Abigail. We spent one day in Zion Ntl Park and I was blown away by the sheer beauty.

Party at the Houser's

In June we spent an amazing evening with our friend Matt Houser. They had a joint 50th birthday (for Matt) and a high school graduation (daughter Christina) party at their home in Dana Point. It was incredible to see and spend time with old, dear friends.

Catching up

Nothing much to post today, the slide show is one of many 'catch ups' that we will be posting. That is a slide show of John's motorcycle trip in '06. Logged over 5K miles and had an experience of a lifetime. More 'catch ups to follow soon.
You can of course click on it and it will open in new window for full size pictures....

Hey everyone, after many years apart Laura and John are back together again. We are both so excited. Many thanks to our families for their love and support. Many bigtime thanks to Maureen. What a sister. This has been quite an adventure for both of us as we know so much about each other but still ask the little questions like 'Do you like onions?'.
