By now you know our daughter has a warped sense of humor...she thought her father would look good in dread locks. A little something she brought back from Jamaica Hmmmm, what do you think? B & D

El Paso

We had to make a trip to El Paso and get Marty settled. It is a rocky and dry place. Out in the west Texas town of El Paso....

If you can't beat them...

Join them...So now I've taken to feeding the squirrels. They wouldn't leave my garden alone, so if I feed them, maybe they will this year. Hmmm.... D & B
