Major Plumbing Problem

The pipe under the dishwasher began to cause a flood in the patio. Lee and a plumber jackhammered and dug down 18 inches to find that, when the house was built, the two parts of the pipe had just been laid in and not connected, and then were cemented over. Over the years the cement finally eroded.

Lee cemented the floor back together and put in a new wall.

Hooray, Lee! (and Vincent, the plumber)

Mother's Day photo. It was a wonderful day with the Claytons. We went out to dinner Saturday at the Macaroni Grill, Natalie gave me a pedicure and a gardenia corsage, and she also sang about mothers in a trio at church.

Tucson Visit 2010

Hazel and I fed carrots to the giraffe at the zoo.

Who should we see signing autographs after speaking to a group of children at the zoo.....Jane Goodall!

Isabel's baptism was special. That same day she received a published, hardbound book from her Aunt Natalie.


Natalie had filled it with memories and photos of the time Sabrina and Isabel had come to visit.

Lee and Vern built all these shelves.

Lee is soldering on this mess of pipes.

Now they are gone. There isn't much he can't fix around here.

Spring is Coming

This tree outside the Kaiser Hospital is all bare, but one branch is telling me something.

Imagine it red with blossoms!
