Happy St. Patrick's Day

Here’s to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one
A pretty girl and an honest one
A cold beer – and another one!
- St. Patrick’s Day Toast

An Irish Prayer
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

Happy BDay Laura - delayed

Had a real busy week at work, but with our new found ability to stay connected, I want to say hello and let all of the family know that no matter how far away we might be we do think of you and miss you. Even with the distance we have not lost touch.

Here are some memories from my path crossing with Laura's, and a special birthday wish that I now return to sender (but I kept the original). Not sure which girl in the two pictures wrote the card, but my little sister sent frequent updates and these are less than a year apart.











Which one of these little girls sent me this message 25 years ago? Somebody's mom was proud. 7th Grade or 11 and a half years. Either way, the work was appreciated (then and now). Beware ... the rest of the family ... I have more. Just waiting to see what you've got.



Kind of funny that the only time our families surfed together was in Cincinnati. If you come out west, we actually have beaches and an ocean.

I have some really cool multi-family shots from this trip, but they are currently lost in the archives. When I come across them I will upload. If you have interesting photos, you should upload too.

We've come a long way baby
