Porter and Garden Pics

Hey hey, summer is here, and I know you are all jealous of the girth of my squash. Enjoy the pictures! Oh yeah, and it's Porter now, Apollo didn't fit him.

What's new at home....

Not much new on the home front. We've been spending a lot of time getting seeds planted. Millions of cherry blossoms on the trees, so anyone planning a visit may want to make it around July 4th weekend cause that's when they'll be out.
Lot's of apple blossoms this year too, so let's hope the bees have done what bees are supposed to do.
Sam is back at Hampshire (yes I actually allowed him to drive there himself) helping his friend pack up and get to the airport.
Dad has just over 6 months to go!!!!!
We have sent our version of the contract for the house to their lawyer. Now we wait to see if she'll accept our changes.
Jess, don't forget ... you and Emma should save the weekend of June 11th to come here to see Dan & Jessica.

Glad your visit south of the Equator is almost over. Did you get your ear pierced? It's tradition for sailors - One left ear piercing for crossing each of the Equator, Artic Circle, and Antarctic Circle.
I bet it'll be good to be home.
Call us when you get home, OK?
Love mom

Come on y'all. I know we're not the most exciting family in the world, but someone must be doing something noteworthy. Dan, Jamaica? Sam, new girlfriend, new major, published novel? Here's a little taste of what it's like to ride on a motorbike taxi at rush hour in Saigon. I'm currently in South Africa under the shadow of Table Mountain. We're supposed to get a storm here this weekend that's gonna bring 25 foot waves! The paper said bathers should be cautious. So mom, don't worry, I'll wear a helmet when I go bodysurfing on those puppies.
