Just by chance everyone showed up here within a period of 5 hours and they all 5 days later with in a 4 hour slot. Things went from quiet to full tilt to quiet in a big hurry. We had a terrific time visiting, drinking, eating, walking, and launching fireworks. It went too fast.

When everyone left they headed in four directions: Sara & Michael-north to NYC, Amy & Casey-east to NC, Mom & Dad-south to FL, Dick & Gerry-west to AZ.
Here is Amy checking out the latest rise in Qualcomm's stock price. She looks pleased.
Casey, Amy & Rachael during a walk around the property.
Michael & Sara. The weather was pretty good for most of everyone's visit.
Amy & Rachael--Rachael is such a great little kid. She rarely complains and is up for just about anything. This picture was taken at some point on our walks.
Here's me with Dick getting ready to open his first bottle of Dick & Gerry's Finest Vintage champagne. It was amazingly good. We all love champagne.
"Hey, where's my champagne?"
Amy & Casey serving dinner.
"Trust me doll, three sixes." We play a ruthless, brutal game called Liar's Dice that Dick & Gerry introduced us too. Here's Sara about to get hosed by Dick.

Me and my mimosa.
Rachael and her chairs. Rachael loves small chairs!
