Kyle's Graduation

We just came home from attending the graduation of our eldest son, Kyle from Western Michigan University.  Made a speed run up to Kalamazoo, MI via Cedar Lake, IN.  Spent day and night at my sister Sue's place.  Always lovely to spend time with her and Ken.  Got 20 miles from her house Saturday morning, to discover I left my nice ironed dress shirt and khaki slacks in the closet.  Fortunately Kyle has a decent polo shirt for me to wear and I did not stick out too bad.  The ceremony was great and I am really proud of Kyle and what he has accomplished.  Graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Business with a major in Accountancy.  You done good, son!!

Rocky Mountain Hi!

Spend most of last week in Denver, Colorado attending the Case Management Course at the National Veterans Training Institute, UC Denver.  Learned a lot.  Great view of the Rocky Mountains all week long.

Mother and colt

Found this lovely picture on the web.  Wanted to share it!

It's spring already?  These are some of the azaleas in my yard.  Was in the low 80's yesterday.

Time In The Woods

The day before we left Spokane, Elke and Dad took us for a drive around the Spokane area.  We drove down along the Spokane River and spotted a number of mule deer bedding down in the trees along the river.  Did not expect to see them.  What a treat!  We had a great visit that week, and seeing the deer so close was the nuts on top of the sundae! By the way, these shots really were taken this year.  The batteries ran out in the camera, and I never adjusted the date on the camera.

A Day in the Park

Took a trip to the park in downtown Spokane. This is where the World's Fair was held. I recognized a few of the structures. Met an overly friendly squirrel who was not the least bit shy.

Time with Family

The main purpose of our trip to Spokane was to spend time with Robyn's dad Carl, his wife Elke and as many family members as we could. Had a neat time meeting Elke's grands and two of her daughters. Also got to see Robyn's siblings who all live in the Pacific Northwest. Great visit!
