A Rainy Event

Do you remember your umbrellas and slickers that you had as a kid? I had one of those cool mushroom umbrellas that you could see through. I remember one day the wind blew it inside out and the plastic ripped. There went that umbrella. Our boys were thrilled with their new umbrellas until they realized that you couldn't press the button so that it would shoot out and open all by itself. Nevertheless, it's still a big event every time the boys get to don their rain gear and brave the weather.

Are you there Nancy? over.

February 21st marked one year from the day we decided to move from Pinole to Alameda. It has been a busy year with many, many highlights. I just looked back on our year in photos and realized how many special moments have gone into the computer files, but haven't been shared with family and friends, near or far. That said, the Walker Walkie-Talkie must be revived. Let us begin with an idyllic photo of the childhood that I hope Kirk and Luke remember. We collected lemons from our tree in our new backyard and literally "trucked" them to the kitchen to make lemonade. Cheers.
