Angel Island on fire

We spent the day with Sharon and Paul down in the Monterey Bay area.  Once we got home about 11 PM I walked to the back of the house and saw a catastrophy.  There were giant, orange glowing sections of Angel Island.  I immediately thought that there had been a plane crash on the island during one of the airshows during the day’s Fleet Week events.  Turned to SFGate.com and they are just calling it a wild fire and no mention of a plane crash.  So that’s good, no one lost their life, except for the island.  We almost went to the island a few weeks back when Phil was visiting, but got to the ferry area too late to have enough time to take it in.  I regret it now because who knows when we’ll have another opportunity to see it.  It is going to take years for the island to recover.

I was able to snap some photos, here they are:

Our anniversary trip

This is getting published a little late, but we took a trip a few weeks ago for our anniversary up the coast and into Oregon.  We went as far north as Portland and then came back through Tahoe. A friend lent us her car for the trip, a hybrid Prius which saved us a ton on gas - thanks Sara!!!!

This is the bottom of a fallen redwood. I could have crawled inside, but wasn’t feeling that brave!

Dave in the redwoods - he finally had a legitimate excuse to use “big” and “wood” in the same sentence!
Ah, Dave, such the jokester

Sexy beast!
That's my husband!

Our friend Betsy went to the University of Oregon in Eugene, so we stopped by for a look as we passed through. Betsy is a very enthusiastic U of O supporter (she once bought a bunch of us Oregon t-shirts when we went to watch a Cal/Oregon game!). So Betsy - this is for you! Go Ducks!!

While we were in Portland, we took a ride to the Columbia River Gorge to see waterfalls and Mount Hood. The waterfalls were great! Mount Hood, however, was a little shy……..

Did you ever doubt there was a Weed, CA?
Weed, CA - of course!

And Tahoe - ah, Tahoe. I love Tahoe!

Of course, when we got home, the cat was VERY happy to see Dave. Even me, too! She was underfoot so much for a few days that I must have stepped on her five times! After that, she was not as excited to see me.
Daddy's home!

All in all, the perfect ending to a terrific first year of marriage! Love you Dave!

Congrats to Beth and her new hubby Jeff!

This past weekend we flew back home to witness our cousin Beth’s wedding. She married a great guy named Jeff and I suspect they’ll be very happy together for many years. As usual I had the camera so here are a few of the shots:

Congrats to Beth and Jeff and may you enjoy many years of happiness together!

One year down, many more to go

Today marks our first anniversary!  I can’t believe a year has already gone by.  If anyone wants to celebrate with us, get a bottle of champagne and have a toast at 4:45 PM EDT.  Cheers!

You May Kiss the Bride
