Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!









I just wanted to wish everyone a merry belated Christmas and an early happy new year! We love you guys and miss you already. We had a wonderful Christmas and were blessed again this year with a visit from Santa. We even had a white Christmas with snow falling sporadically throughout the day. I had to sit back among the mess of wrapping paper and toys and just enjoy the happiness in my children. It truly was a blessed day. I hope that all of you had an equally great day! Can't wait to get together again. Love you all, Carly

Great pictures and you can have the snow. I have shoveled enough snow that I can enjoy it in pictures!!

Mom enjoys riding her new-to-her bike. It is a BMW R1150R Rockster model. She rides to school and back home again most days. She is a hero to her students on campus because she is a motorhead!! You go, girl!!

San Francisco Trip - 2007

During our trip last summer to San Francisco and eventually to San Diego, we took a day ride around the Castro Valley area to a scenic area known as Mount Diablo State Park. I distracted Barbara as we were maneuvering the switch back roads on our way down from the peak. Barbara endured a slow speed accident resulting in a few broken ribs, a broken clavical, and a punctured lung. She spent 10 glorious days in the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. She has survived to ride again. She got back in the saddle and has ridden to school already this year.
