News from NY, 6/30/2008

Hey peoples,

It has been a month, so here I am, dutifully recording New York happenings. Actually, not a lot of happenings to record. We have had a few weeks off from traveling, so it has been pleasantly relaxing.

Not that traveling to Seattle was not fun! (double negative, I think that means it WAS fun). I have a bunch of photos to show how much fun we had, although reporting them to mostly the people who were there seems a bit redundant. But it is such a handsome family, I must report them anyway.

This one I title:

"Family on the Beach"



And this one:

"The Crooked Family"




These photos are a bit out of order, but is the way I think sometimes. I'm titleing this one after the pretty woman on the right whom we found wondering the streets of Seattle:

"The rare straight haired Austrialian"


The flowers to help resuscitate Dad, who we figured had a pretty good chance of fainting upon seeing his other 3 missing children appear out of no where to surprise him on his 80th birthday. He didn't faint, but I hear 'Oh my Gosh!' about 5 times.

Cousin Paul and Mika took us on a lovely tour of Seattle:

"Red thing on a Needle"


This one has the grown up Paul looking at a family photo:

"Big Paul, Little Paul"


And we found some sunshine! Helen school the youngsters, but I then took a paddle and reminder her of her proper place in the ping pong kingdom.

"Outdoor Tennis on a Table"


Finally, we found some monsters:

"Little Critters"


"Big Critter"

Paul and Criag, thanks for picking us up and giving us the fun tours.

MKCM, thanks for hosting the party and great hospitalities.

We are off to NH on the 4th, then to DC the following weekend. Then I'm back to MN for the last week of July to visit the homestead.
