It was a beautiful day today. A cooking hamburgers on the grill kind of day!

I can't believe how much taller Josh is than Amanda. He's really shot up in the last few months. Anyway, here they are, 14 and 19.

OK, so this wasn't what I was going for. It turned out cool anyway. Amanda turned 19 today.

The front of our garage, where the Christmas wreath goes. I like it.

This is what an $800 bicycle looks like. Note the funky shoes that attach to the pedals. Tom's all ready to take on the MS 150 and then Ragbrai!

Rows and flows of angel hair, and ice cream castles in the air, and feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way.

Anybody out there love Joni Mitchell? Really dating myself, aren't I. I've never taken cloud pictures before, it's fun.

Here's Josh in his favorite shorts. We call them his golf shorts. He doesn't play golf, but if he did, he'd be all set. This kid has the strangest preferences in clothes of anybody I ever saw.
