Pictures from June











Hello everyone,



here is a collection of pictures taken recently. We're so glad that Peter & Brooke shared a couple of days with us so we could see Benson. Also, we had great fun with Ben & Jen's family visit so they could see Peter & Brooke before they fly away to Germany. We had fun with Eric & Julie for an extra day or two of family time. We had fun with Heather & Evan's family for graduation celebrations. And, Bill and I went on a charter boat out of Westport for a cold day of fishing. I've never caught such big fish so easily. We just put the lines in the water with two hooks on and waited on the rocking boat. Fish just bit the hooks that had little plastic bait and didn't let go. There wasn't really a strong bite feel or jerk. The rod just got a lot heavier, so we just rolled it up and there were the fish. The deckhand ran around the boat grabbing our fish for us each time and then threw them in the plastic barrels. Bill caught a very large ling cod (I didn't get to take a picture of me with my fish). That big fish was biting the other two fish he had on the line. The deckhand ran over with the large net to scoop it all up. That was amazing! So, that was how we spent our 33rd wedding anniversary. On the way home, Bill took care of an emergency patient and we had a very late dinner at the local cafe. Not the most romantic celebration, but it was unique. Love to you all. Mom

Awesome! That fish looks like a prehistoric monster or something! Glad you had fun! These are such great pictures! We always have so much fun together! Happy Anniversary! 33 years...fantastic!

Deep sea fishing... so fun! Congratulations on 33 years:)

Peter, Benson and I had a wonderful time there at the homestead. We miss you all already.

Benson lying down in the wagon cracks me up. Conner is just holding on tight to him. Benson loves that Conner. What great boys!

That fish was pretty gnarly looking, and HUGE. Shaun and I are making plans to go deep fishing one of these days. I love looking at the pictures of everybody together, but at the same time I don't because I always end up with such deep nostalgia, and wistfullness. wish we had been there too.

Nice fish Bill! Looks like you could make a few loads of fish and chips with that one. Congrats to you both on 33 years!
