my June BJP

My June BJP. It's supposed to look like my apple tree in bloom but of course, it doesn't. I like it anyway.

Father's Day

A few pictures taken out at Flandrau last Sunday. Kim, Bonnie and I were relaxing in the shade.

a few pictures of Galveston

A few pictures from the Back Yard Garden tour in Galveston.

A line of fishermen just off shore on Sunday morning.

A sailboat near the ferry

All I could get of a dolphin. There were a couple of them swimming alongside the ferry but when they would come up out of the water, I never had time to get a good shot before they were back under.

The front of the Grand 1894 Opera House and the Customs House where the quilts are displayed upstairs.

Sylvia came over on Tuesday and we met at Gaido's at 11:30 for lunch. We knew each other right away even though we haven't seen each other since about 1965. We talked and ate and talked and ate and finally realized that it was 2:15 and we were still sitting there. So we left, probably to the delight of our waitress and came here to the house where we continued to talk. She left about 7:30 after her husband called to see if she was ever coming home. We are going to have to get together next time I am here, as I think there is lots more to talk about. I will try to find Sharon in the meantime. If she is around, she can join us. She might be in San Antonio. I think I found an address for her husband, so I will write to him when I get back to MN. Sylvia's creative outlet is that she buys jewelry and alters it. She is retired now from UTMB. They have one son and 3 grandchildren.
