There's been a lot going on since my last update. Joyce made it home from her European Adventure with Kristin on the 29th of September. They saw a lot, and for the most part had a good time together. Now we can get on with our travel plans starting with 8 days in Hawaii later this month. I'm looking at making arrangements for some time in the Arizona sun with Spring Training Baseball thrown in. We'd like to go from mid February to mid April. We shall see. Baseball season ended today for us with the Mariners going 85 & 77 after last years 61 & 101. Counting Spring Training, I saw 25 Mariners games this year, and Joyce saw almost that many. If this was Juniors last season, he finished with a base hit on his final at bat. Almost everybody wants to see him back next year. We shall see.
Last Sunday I attended a memorial service for an old friend who passed away way too soon at 60 years of age. This was the 3rd passing from a group that hung out together in the mid 60's. I hadn't seen her in at least 30 years, and we were just in the process of setting up a reunion of those of us that are still in the area. But on a brighter note, several of us who hadn't been together in years have re-connected. I intend to not let people slip away any more, and e-mail will allow us to stay connected. These damn computers are good for something!!
It's a beautiful day, the barbecue is loaded with three racks of pork back ribs, and there's beer in the refrigerator. Life is good. Stay connected. You never know.

Hi
Pat and Steph enjoyed our harvest food festival with Joyce and Ernie
HI
PAT and STEPH had a great time with you guys for our harvest food festival.
I'm glad Joyce made it back OK. Your going to have to buy her some new shoes. She had to have worn them out on her last adventure.
To bad about your team but it sounds like they have improved over last year. There is always next year....Ron's team didn't make the cut either. We are looking forward to spring training also.
The older I get the more I realize how short live really is. A lot of people come and go out of our life and we tend to loose track of them. Your right about the internet, you can keep in touch with people a lot easier now than you could just a few years ago. I thought Facebook would be a good way to keep up with what's going on in peoples life but there a lot of people on my facebook that play farm games and send people pretend hearts and flowers and such and you have to weed through all that crap to get to the postings.
I look forward to your next adventure in paradise. Joyce, if Ernie goes crazy and decides to hula in a grass skirt be sure and get a picture....Aloha Diane
Happy Birthday Dad!!! have an excellent time, drink some drinks eat some fresh fruit and enjoy a beautiful sunset!!! Love Ya Sheila
