Father's Day 2009

Gang is almost here. Someone had to take the picture. A Christmas with family will be harder and harder as time ages. So enjoy the family moments while we can. One will never know where we all will be in the coming years. I have never been to China or Japan either. A card on Father's Day is wonderful when we are all separated by many miles and busy times for all.

Future Family Artist Begins

Lincoln begins his first master piece using his body brush.

GrandMa Gail provides some inspiration.

A Birthday to remember

My parents had a dream for me. My father wanted me to be an architect while my mother wanted me to be an artist. This year, before my 64th birthday, I finally accomplished what my mother wanted most. With both accomplished, it has become my "defining moment". I find deep joy and satisfaction that I can do both in a time when few find one thing that completes them.

Family Roots

First the man sits with his spouse by his side.

A generation later, both spouses sit and hold the next generation standing or sitting by their side.

What will the next generation bring that will change our ways?

We all come from humble beginnings and have no idea if we will improve the family tree in the end of our life journey. No matter where we end, we should never forget from where we began.

My First ART show

My first ART show in Frederick, Maryland in 2009 recession was still a good "defining moment".

GRANDPA and GRANDMA at LAST

Lincoln will be one year old in August 2009. We all wonder when he will have a brother or sister to share his journey with Kelly and Derek.

Perhaps, Santa will hear our request this year?

Family Floggers Unite

As time goes by each day we seek to keep the family playing and relaxing together. Hopefully, those good times will return as we all grow older with time. May the golfing GODS treat us well!

Floggers Retreat 2009

Three days with four conservatives and three more liberals in North Myrtle Beach generated many memorable golf lore moments. A double eagle on a Par 5 and an eagle on a Par 4 overshadowed several meager birdies or simple Pars each day. Beyond that, what happens when the sun is gone in MB stays in MB so we all can meet again. The liberals shall rise again!
