It’s spring time and where ever you go kids are playing baseball.  Erin is on the travel team and the Rec Team… She does very well for only being 11 years old. Check out her one minute video…

Michael and Papa have been spending the last few days constructing Michael’s first car

  that is running in the Pinewood Derby at Pashley School in Burnt Hills.  His car came in 2nd in the first heat then he lost the final… Papa was proud of the great job Michael did!  Check out all the  Pictures of the Great Race

I can’t believe a whole year has gone by since I’ve written an article.  With Ray doing much better medically I now have time to write a bit.  In January we went to Hawaii for 2 weeks.

Check out all the Hawaii Vacation Pictures …  We had a wonderful relaxing time.

Then in February we went on a Cruise to the Caribbean with friends, the Napiers and the Roberts. We arrived early in New Orleans and Ray and I toured the city. This is the link to the Cruise Pictures.

Now I’m waiting for spring so I can plan all our camping trips!

2006 A new year!

It’s a new year and I haven’t written in this journal in some time…

G W is still in office, that’s just as depressing as me being a year older. I guess I’ll have to stop surfing the web and checking out the al qaeda websites cause then G W won’t be listening in on my phone calls to Laura’s house and wondering if Michael and Kate are spies. They do have an accent! Just remember everyone if he can tap one persons phone he can tap yours or your next door neighbors.

One wonderful thing about 2006 is that we are having a new grandbaby in just a few weeks! I can’t wait… I hope Baby Hull comes before Ray and I go on vacation to Hawaii for two weeks… I’m looking forward to loading up my site with new, funny and sweet pictures of Aaron and Chris learning what it’s like to be a parent. Check out AARON’S BLOG LINK
Is my site a blog? Just another name… Who new!

On August 16th we went to the Shattuck wedding in Magnolia, Mass. Here are the lovely garden wedding PICTURES. Ray and I have been friends with the Shattucks for many many years… It was sure good to see a lot of old friends at the wedding!

Ever been to York Beach, Maine? Well this is the first year in 32 years that we were able to spend 2 weeks there… Click on…….

We arrived on August 2nd. The weather wasn’t the greatest but we enjoyed it anyway… Our friends DWAIN AND DIANA from Maine came and visited us for a couple of days. It was good to see them. We hadn’t seen them since Belize. After they left we spent some time traveling around the area of York… One evening we drove into Portsmouth, NH. Then Susie and Larry arrived and LAURA, TONY AND THE GRANDKIDS. What fun we had at the
BEACH. We spent a lot of time eating ice cream at
BROWNS.
One day Susie, Larry, Ray and I took a trip up to Bailey’s Island. Lots of KODAK MOMENTS… I wish the sun was out but had a nice time anyway!
CHRIS AND AARON came on Wednesday. We spent a lot of time building
SANDCASTLES and
BASKING in the sun! Some of us even took a little
SNOOOOOOZE needless to say you can see we all enjoyed
YORK BEACH, MAINE once again!

We left a day early to go to John Shattuck’s daughter Brenda’s Wedding in Massachusetts.
