Sara Siska's Thailan Simone

This picture was sent to me by Mary Canizzaro. She actually sent two but the other one was a strange format I couldn't get to upload to the blog. This is Mary's daughter, Sara Siska's, latest daughter named Thailan Simone. How is that for multi-layered possessives. Thailan is about 1 year old.

July Trip

The details are becoming clear. Anita & I plan to fly to SF on July 15 arriving early in the morning and going from the air port to our cruise ship. The ship sails at 4 pm on a 10 day trip to Alaska.

We will return on July 25th. We plan to stay in the Bay Area until July 30 when we fly from Oakland to Tucson. I need to do some work on the Crockett house while we are there. We also hope to visit with family.

First Great Grandchild Annabella

Anita and I now have 8 granddaughters and 1 great granddaughter. Notice there are no boys. This is Annabella Miko Feese born 8:25 am May 14th 2006. She weighted in at 8 lbs 14 ozs and measured 20.5 inches. The leg in the front is grandma's, behind that is mom's knee. Great grandma took the picture. I guess that's four generations. We are headed for a problem though. Corey's wife is expecting. They say it's a boy.

Feathers to You


This is Fuzzy the night a cactus wren flew in the front door and caused a small riot. We were running all over trying to catch it. We needed to catch her before one of the 8 cats did. Many of the eight cats were helping. Fuzzy almost had her a couple of times. He was the fastest I have ever seen him. I had her and then lost her. I finally trapped her and she seemed alright and she went out the front door. I don't think the wren or Fuzzy realized how close he had come.
