Photos from Uncle Dave’s Installation in Portland last month. It was wonderful to be there to celebrate with him and the family, and I know he’ll do a wonderful job. They really picked a wonderful person – GOOD JOB, OREGON! – you got one right. Photos include the installation service, Clare’s singing (only wish I had audio/video of it!), pictures from the BBQ at the Brauer-Rieke house afterwards, and the beautiful rainbow we saw on the way home. It was a full rainbow, and a double. Beautiful and amazing – we knew Grandpa was with us. Congratulations Uncle Dave!

Happy birthday, John. You’re still in your early 20s, but we won’t tell. Hope everyone enjoys the pictures – we had a great time celebrating another year of John’s life at Marrakesh, Uptown, Scott’s, Amber, and Del Mar. Can’t wait for next year!

The rest of the pictures from our family vacation – since I didn’t take most of these, I’m actually in some of them! Photo credit to my Mom.

A delightful group of guests?

Or a murder waiting to happen?

It was a dark and stormy night, when a group of apparent strangers gathered together for an undisclosed reason. It all seemed innocent enough…but all was not as it seemed. Several guests never lived to make the party. Those who did barely escaped with their lives. Survivors included Colonel Mustard, M. Brunette, Mrs. Peacock, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, and Miss Peach. Each guest appeared innocent enough, but appearances can be deceptive. Guests were secretly captured on film throughout the evening, and a mysterious stranger has provided me with them for the public to solve the crimes committed that night. It is my duty to share them.

Who killed Mr. Boddy? Who killed the other guests? Could the crimes be solved in time to halt the bloodshed? And just what was in those cupcakes Mrs. White served? Each guest proved innocent one moment, and most guilty the next. Who is the murderer – or who ARE the murderERS? We’ll never tell… Can you?
