Our surprise visit

Well this one comes to mind. My Brother Kevin was flying into Vancouver after spending 8 months in Australia. I had flown out to Edmonton with plans of driving with Fred to Vancouver to pick up Kevin and drive him back to Edmonton. Well Fred and i left Edmonton a little later than planned and arrived in front of Johns building at 3am. At this point, is when Fred informed me he hadn't gotten around to calling John to tell him we were coming yet. So Fred calls John from a pay phone (before everyone had cells). I can hear Freds end of the conversation, "John, its Fred, what are you doing". Well surprise surprise he was sleeping. Well within 10 minutes John, Fred and myself were into our first beer and first story and many beers and stories later the sun came up and we thought it best to go to bed seeing the beer was all gone. We woke up just in time to pick Kevin up at the airport at 3pm i think it was. That was the first time i spent time with John in Vancouver. And also that is when i feel i really got to know him well.

Jackie's 80th Party pictures

Kevin makes a good point, however Chace was there - make no mistake about it - this kid gets around. We had to pick him up at the airport on Friday. He flew first class with his stroller, luggage and elmo diapers. He took quite a shine to Mark! Just a few pictures from the party this past Saturday...

Some of Paul Bochsler's pictures

I took a million silly pictures, thank goodness some of y'all were taking the same shot and are better photographers, but here are a few from my camera's perspective. Gosh, I'm trying to upload a zillion of them and it only takes four at a time. Bear with me. Note the 'two Jacks', 'Peter, Paul & Mary', and the oldest and youngest of the cousins. Paul

What number are you?
