Cousins

My kids are so excited that the cousins are closer. I am glad that Carly FINALLY moved closer to me. It is nice to let the cousins play together. I know we will be moving further away but at least she is in Rio Rancho and I can see her more often than when she was living in Santa Fe. Once I move I will still have to come to town and Joe's office won't move so I think we will still see eachother. It was nice to have Devin visit with his cousins. It was also nice to have Mom and Dad here. I like the fact that they have their summers off as well. We get the chance to spend more time with them.

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.
