vrolijke kerstfeest moeder!

And I mean it.

ERIKA AND RYDER

My favorite cousin and her husband—daughter and son-in-law of the below-mentioned favorite aunt and uncle.


What a small world.

Hairy Submarine

When I was sixtenn I hitched-hiked to Seattle with my buddy John Lloyd to visit my auntie. She took us to see Hair and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead--my introduction to culture.
Uncle Ron who was just dating her then (they're married lo these many years) took us to Roy Rogers for roast beef sandwiches and then to the submarine he was ensigned to. Free food and claustrophobia--I still have them both.
But I lack culture.

Point is, I love my aunt and uncle and it was great to see them at my mom's 80th. I hope to see you guys soon,

The Flying Ridges of Coos Bay

The Ridge/Azab family came to visit again, leaving in their wake dents in our stainless steel and destruction of walls and our cats' sanity. But we love them just the same.

Look at them fly.
