...I was on Facebook this weekend. Until recently I only used it for work since Citysearch is in partnership and I wanted to keep my two lives separate. But pressure mounted to let others in and vice versa so I finally started reaching out. I was looking at groups and on a whim typed in Diepoldsau and was surprised to find a couple of groups. One seemed generic and it was obvious it was about the town and not a sports club so I started looking at member names to see if I recognized anyone. I did: Roman Laesser. He is cousin Anita's son (Anita's mom is Dora, dad's stepsister). I wrote an email asking if he was the son of Tony and Anita and told him who I was. I got a pretty quick reply verifying it was him, sending greetings from Aunt Dora and asking me how I found him. Now I have to really dust off my German in order to respond to that question. Pretty cool, eh?

Cabin - Fall 2011
- The cabin is always fun, but it sure is colorful in Fall. I went with mom & dad in late September and in late October to work on some projects upstairs.
Kelly Turns 3
- Happy Birthday to Kelly! You would never know this was October. It was WARM and provided a perfect opportunity to celebrate outside.
June '11 in Colorado
- Off to visit Joan to help her paint her kitchen. This is the first trip I've taken where I didn't bring a camera and relied solely on my phone's camera. In fairness, this is the first time I've had a phone with a camera. We saw a lot of stuff but only photographed a small portion of it. We were just too busy!
The National Zoo
- The zoo was a nice little walk from our hotel and I went there twice. I was there in the late afternoon but left shortly after getting there since it was nearly deserted and a bit creepy. The 2nd time was in the morning and it was buzzing with activity.
Spring in Washington DC 2011
- I wanted a separate album to capture the beauty of Spring in DC. We had days of sunshine and days of rain but the marks of Spring were EVERYWHERE!

Denver With Joan Dec '10
- Joan and I agreed on an unusual trip. I would fly to Denver but instead of going to her home we would spend the weekend together in downtown Denver to enjoy the festivities and atmosphere of the 16th Street Mall. We had a fantastic long weekend. I loved being in a town where you don't need a car (though we had one). We either walked or took a free shuttle/bus where we needed to go. We will DEFINITELY have to do that again! There was no snow but it was magical nonetheless and, as Joan wisely noted, snow could have been a problem anyway. There was no risk of my flights being delayed or canceled and we got to enjoy roaming around with ease. Yes, it was very cold but that added to the atmosphere.
Keri's Christmas Concert 2010
- Keri's school put on a Christmas Concert. Each class stood together and different classes participated in different songs. It was a real delight to see the kids and to enjoy Keri's enthusiastic singing. There were hand movements for several songs and it was just a nice, fun evening. Just yesterday mom played the video of the concert; it was professionally recorded from a booth at the back of the church and it was a fun reminder of that evening. If you click on the first photo, you'll see a larger version and from then you can just hit "next" to continue.
Celebrating 50
- The girls agreed turning 50 was special so we arranged a weekend in Palm Springs. Joanne flew down from Washington and Kathy drove the five of us to Palm Springs for a fabulous weekend of gabbing, eating, shopping, and relaxing.
