Been away too long!

The last time I wrote on this blog was December of 2008. In January of 2009 Lori and I celebrated our first anniversary as a married couple. We spent a week in Hawaii on the Island of Maui. You can view all of the photos on my Flickr site. A lot has happened in the mean time. My son and daughter-in-law with grandkids in tow moved to Hawaii, near Hilo. We are leaving at the end of this month to visit them. We fell in love with Hawaii and hope to retire there. Lori and I both spend a lot of time on Flickr. We take a lot of pictures of the creatures that live on our half acre and the areas around us in the county. Today we are putting lattice work around one side of the front porch. It will help to block the sun and the view of the apartments. We also mowed and trimmed the yard. Tomorrow is Mother's Day. I hope all of you are blessed. We also bought an English Bull Dog. Her name is Nula and she is about 7 months old. She is growing like a weed and is our couch companion in the evenings along with Buddy and Tom the cat. We miss our kids and grandkids but will be reunited soon. In the mean time we will take more pictures and share them with our friends around the world on Flickr. God bless you all! David
