2009 Ski for Women


My dear and longtime friend, Carol La Rose joins me to participate in the annual Ski for Women 2009- A fundraiser to benefit programs combating domestic violence. Most women come in costumes. It is a cheerful and fun time spent in the way that women enjoy.

Sweet Peas


My sweet peas took off in August and early September. I love their tangled and disheveled growth.
My dream is to have a very awesome garden one day.

Joys of Summer


This is a nice shot of my lettuce crop early in the summer. I grew romaine and buttercrunch. I had a decent harvest.
I miss summer.

It's the little things sometimes.


Alissa shows off some of the flowers in their yard on F Street.

Alissa and Nathan

Alissa and Nathan have had a great year on F Street. Both of them have grown so much during this first year out of university. I am very proud of both of them and know they will continue to blossom in every way. Good luck in the Peace Corps, Nathan.
