Kennisons' Meeting Place

I certainly hope that Brian has something to post when he gets back from KY. Hasn't anyone else something to post? How about you, Greg. I could post a picture of my patio, but you have all seen it. That is where I have been. Carey, what about something from you and Yo? Hope all is well with everyone.

You certainly are getting value out of your recorder. I loved the sparklers. As I said before, there is always something going on with your family. Busy, busy, busy.

Kevin, Those were the only fireworks that I got to see. Thanks for the display. I am sure that I was very impressive in person. There is always something going on with your family. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Just took a few pictures looking over the hill and thought I post them. It's short and ends abruptly ( what do you want, National Geographic?). Going camping tomorrow for two nights. It's raining now. It's supposed to rain for two days. Wish us well!

I talked with Ginny tonight. Tom took her to Pittsburgh today to see a surgeon at Prespyterian Hospital. The doctor was very frank about the surgery - regardless of any other health problems. It is a very serious operation with lots of implications. Ginny has decided not to have the surgery. She is just going to continue to do what she does every day. She calls about 10 people a day and she writes to about 12 people every week. I just sent her labels to put on her postcards for her weekly notes. She used the first ones today. She is just going to continue as she has. She still hasn't had a cigarette. She has finally quit smoking!!! Yeah!!

I just saw this today. It's called BigPicture . It's part of the Boston.com website which is the online version of the Boston Globe . We don't watch TV news (don't get me wrong, we watch plenty of TV, just not the news) so seeing these high resolution pictures helps me think about these events. Using the web also allows you to choose the big picture you want to see and how long you want to look at them. Anyway I thought I'd pass this along.

Carey came to Dallas last Sunday to meet a client. He came over to Arlington after work and he and I went right out to the lake. Carey dropped into the water and pulled on the slalom ski and just took right off for a couple of good runs. He looked like he does this every week, and not twice in the last 20 years. We sat out on the water for sunset and a visit. It was a very pretty evening. There are more photos on my albums attached here. Did you also realize that you can click on any photo posted here to view it in full size? We took the Collins clan to the lake for the first time a week ago. Will went out on the raft with his dad and immediately took a spill. They got back on had a good ride. Katie is an old pro on the raft. She tried out the new skis sized for her age and weight. You can see from her expression here that she was amazed that she just popped up and skiied on her very first try. We are looking forward to a great summer on the lake. We went out on Wednesday evening last ...
