Its a Celebration

The last entry about my trip includes my trip to Orlando to see the Pifer family and some of my friends from Tampa - we had a great time.

One of the exciting parts of the trip was seeing my great-nephews play ball.

Grant coming across home plate.

Next day we got to see Owen running the football all over the field - they are both great players. I was so proud of them - and the crazy announcements over the sound system about the firefighters -

Here is Owen looking very dapper in his football jersey.

And of course there was pizza when it was all over.

The joyousness of children - we all have so much to learn about how life can be filled with joy.

My friend David and his partner Vince came to meet Chris and me in Orlando - we did Cirque of course and were all amazed. Chris and Vince were Cirque virgins - I think they were stunned as we all are when we first see the show.

Here we are being silly - what? us?

Chris, David and I find some fun art behind the House of Blues. I look at this picture and can hardly believe it is me.

I still dont like the climate but seeing my family and friends in Florida was one of the joys of this year - it has been WAY to long.

Following this part of the trip Chris and I headed back to Hilton Head and the next day I flew from Jacksonville home to Albuquerque.

O I just couldnt leave this entry without saying something about "no child left behind" and this has nothing to do with the idiotic educational plan that the fool from Crawford imposed upon the world. Well - maybe for those of you in Orlando and PA who read this - thats enough said - I am still laughing about the famed lost child.

Blessings to you all.
