Mocha Time


A delicious cup of mocha and some time to repose.

Writing cards


Alissa and I meet often and write and send cards to people. Blogging is great but nothing beats the dying art of good handwritten snail mail. ?We are searching for an honest to goodness penpal.

Surfer hair

Patrick is on the fast track to teenage life !! The time spent in the pool has given him stiff glossy hair. He begins high school swim team in one week.

After my morning bicycle ride


This is my Trek Navigator which I enjoy very much. I have a mesh basket to carry a windbreaker, water and other things I might need. It is also useful as a shopping basket.
I love my bicycle.

Bicycles

On a rare sunny day, Thomas prepares his bicycle for a commute to work.
