Fiesta at Karen and Joe’s New Casa
Monday, June 25th, 2007
I was a bit late in arriving at Karen and Joe’s new house in Kettering on Coke Avenue. Chris and Sarah had come over that Saturday afternoon of June 23, 2007, and watched Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt. Their original intention was to watch Rebecca but it was longer and would have made us later. Sarah prepared her snacks in the kitchen for the latter half of the movie while an unimpressed Chris and I finished watching it.

Dad didn’t play because he never plays games. Not sure why Denise didn’t play but she was probably fiddling with the organ. Ira didn’t play so he could hang back and chat with Dad…and snap four great candid shots of us around the table, rolling our dice. Read the rest of this entry »

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007
The warm, sticky air and the coming of the “J” months heralded the onslaught of Summer. And as if just to prove that it was coming, it was time to celebrate Memorial Day – the kickoff to swimming, laying out, cookouts, non-stop air conditioners, and long Summer walks. These are all things that before last Summer I wanted no part of (except for the air conditioners of course), but now am feverishly looking forward to. Denise wisely chose to hold her picnic on the Sunday before the actual holiday this year. This would give everyone a day to relax and recuperate on the holiday itself: Monday, May 28.
