Hi everyone,  Not a bad place to work for the Summer!  Hope your having a good Summer wherever you venture!

*Yosemite Valley*

Hello folks...
  Yosemite Valley waterfalls are so pretty because of all of the snow in the high country.  The little gerbils are sooo cute too, they hang out near the food establishments just hoping for hand-outs.  But don't feed the little cuties, the punishment for feeding the wildlife is steep here in a national park...but the little cuties still try!

Little cutie!

*Cousin Aiden*

  These two photos are of my cousin Aiden.  I recently met him for the first time.  He is a very nice little boy with lots of energy.  We had fun swimming in my uncles pool together...

Mom and Dad's Anniversay Quilt

Hi everyone,
   Happy 4th of July to everyone, a little early!  This is a quilt that I recently gave my Mom and Dad for their 50th wedding anniversay.  They really liked it.  The blocks are a nine patch pattern called "shoo fly."  The flowers are hydrangea in my Mom's yard.

*Yosemite Falls 2*

Hello,
  This is another video clip of Yosemite Falls, in Yosemite National Park.  There is so much snow melt, it makes for a very beautiful waterfall!
