Wendy'

Well, here are some new pictures. Wendy getting ready to present her dissertation on March 13, 2009!!
Wendy with here friends Andrea and Penny. Andrea also has her Ph.D. and Penny is working on her Masters. They are both great girls and friends.
Proud Mama!! After the dissertation she had to meet with her advisors for about 1 1/2 hrs so we were all waiting in the Magma Chamber with her peers to see if the presentation was accepted. Of course, it was and she is loaded down with congratulation lai's. In Germany is is tradition to give hats, so she got a hat from one of her friends.

First Visitors

Well here are some more turkey pictures. These guys are about 4 feet tall and we think about 30#. May be a little gamey for Thanksgiving turkey. We usually have one or two but sometimes we get 10 or more.

Pete and Linda Harbers from Anacortes Washington were our first visitors. Pete elected to back in behind the rv garage so he could get satellite reception. If he had backed all the way, you wouldn't be able to see the front of the coach. They have headed back to Albuquerque, NM, and on up to the Salt Lake area for some spring skiing.

We had lots of fun and visited the Alamo, San Antonio's river walk, Fredericksburg, and friends in Kerrville while they were here. Linda and I also had lots of fun sewing and making tote bags.

Hope everyone is enjoying the spring. Wendy is finishing her Ph.D. on the 13th and I'm going to HI for a couple of weeks to help her celebrate and move to a new apartment. She plans on staying in HI for awhile and continue to look for jobs in her field.

Until later.
