Earth Day 2008

The beginning of our Earth Day was spent at the Charlotte Celebration held at an elementary school. We picked up our rain barrel (will be an experiment since we have no gutters or downspouts, but we a glass full in there already from last night's rain) and enjoyed all the earthy offerings.

Declan was fascinated by the snake. No interest in touching it (or hearing it either as you can see)!

He loves people dressed up like characters. This large dog was from the Humane Society.

There was a drumming group there-I believe they are people fighting cancer. Declan loved hearing them play and of course playing his own drum.

We also attended a play at Imaginon, the downtown library. It is a new facility with several theaters and the latest of everything "library." After the play we happened upon "The Musical Petting Zoo" that the Symphony Guild puts on. Our musician was very happy playing the cello.

Trip to Southern California

Della and John had a terrific week in Southern California (Sep 15 to 22). Our favorite family members, Fran, Merle and Jeff Gerhardt made us more than comfortable and provided many wonderful eating events which which they are famous. We visited with our young friends, Alanna and Eric Hoyer who we have known since their births and Eric's wife Susan. The 5 Hoyer dogs provided much entertainment. One highlight of the trip was our attendance at Lynwood High School, Class of 1959's 50th Year Reunion. It was a blast to see friends from long ago. It was held at the Long Beach Marriott Hotel 18 and 19 September.
