Yesterday was a great day in Washington State. I drove to Toledo, Wa to witness my younger brother's baptism. It is good to see him at peace after so many year of turmoil. The church he has joined is full of people that are helping him become a man at 49.
I served with these guys for three years in the states and in Korea. Some of the best soldiers I ever met.I hope you all are doing well.
This is the focal point of our backyard every fall.
What a fun thing to do. I did this with the 39th Inf Regt. in Panama in 1982. We were at the Jungle Warfare School.
Johnny and Tony on the back porch catching some rays. They have been doing well in the record breaking heat. We broke down and got an air conditioner this year and all of the Chins stayed inside during the hottest part of the day.
This is Jean's water lilly. We have to have the screen over the pond to keep the Chin puppies from falling in.
My oldest daughter was married on July 25th at Pt. Defiance Park's Rose Garden. It was a beautiful wedding for two fabulous people and their family. I couldn't be happier with my new son, and am so pleased my daughter is so happy.
This is our newest little girl Taffy. Jean will start showing her in about three months.
I don't know if this is part of our family history or not, but I have heard that my great grandfather may have lived in Kansas in the late 1800's.
This little girl was on our deck yesterday and I caught this shot just before she flew off.
This was Ginger in the ring at the Elma show last week. She looked good, but not good enough to take points.
This is the prettiest badge a solider can receive.
This was my platoon giving me a miniature of the regimental colors when I left to become the company first sergeant.
Me on the way up Mt. Hood in May 1982. Could have used some snow shoes, the snow was so soft.
The two biggest pups. The one under the table, Snowflake, is sold.
This picture of my granddaughter and Ginger was taken at the Puyallup Dog Show.
