It is amazing how quickly time slips by! When I first constructed this page, these pictures were current! I don't have any to substitute right now. I will definitely make an effort to take and publish some newer pictures soon!
This picture
was taken Halloween night 1999 while waiting for the neighborhood "trick
or treaters" to arrive. Our weather was unusually warm this Halloween
and there were well over 40 youngsters who stopped. I guess the weather the
past couple of years has been chilly as there were only 6 last year and about
12 the year before.
A picture
of Bob in the swimming pool . Wish the weather would let us spend time
in the pool all year! I know kids spend more time swimming in this area than
I do; I've learned to dislike chilly water!
Another picture of Bob
in the swimming pool. The pool pictures were taken during the summer
of 1994.
A picture
of Bob not in the swimming pool. This picture was taken next to
the pool; I don't spend all my time swimming!
A picture of Bob driving his boat. This was taken in August of 1995 while several of us were out for a day of boating on a nearby lake.
One of Bob's
buddies, Angel. She is a long-haired Chihuahua and weighs about seven
pounds. Of course, you know who runs the household. When she gets
into one of her playful moods and starts racing around the house, I often
want to shout "arriba, arriba" as she reminds me of Speedy Gonzales
from the cartoons.

Mysti, a blue female Chihuahua puppy joined
the household in April of 1995. She is full grown at this point, and her color
has turned to a very dark blue-gray. Mysti helps Angel run the household.
Our 1996 snow
storm! It doesn't snow here that often, but it can. The snow actually
stayed on the ground most of the morning after I took this picture.
