new years day

christina made all the the beautiful bowls and vases.

happy three french hens day!

independence day road trip

country towns, dive bars, roadside attractions, lakes, mountains, cheap motels and the odd fancy restaurant in western maryland.  christina took me on a 4th of july road trip!  mostly pics of frederick, and the tiny town of thurmont in the appalachian foothills. at night things were kind of quiet, but it was fun in the motel room sipping wine, glued to the walking dead marathon on the tube! made it all the way back to annapolis on back roads and scenic byways!

fathers day in annapolis!

christina and alfred brought baskets full of food and a table top hibachi. gannon assembled it and grilled hamburgers, and chrissie skyped for an hour or two from chambery france, so the whole family was together despite the atlantic ocean!
