Flower Beds at our House

My idea was to have clematis growing in with the roses. In some cases that idea has worked and in other cases, the blooming times differ. So much for grand plans!

Family Vacation in Kauai

Following in the pattern of Thailand in Jan. 2008, the same gang vacationed together on Kauai this May. We had a great time and enjoyed gorgeous weather and incredible views from our condo. We saw pods of porpoise from the condo and could view down the coast to the Spouting Horn. Here are some pictures that capture a little of our trip.
