For Bev, Part 1

I beat my scanner into submission and here's what I have so far. The scans are down and dirty so the quality isn't great. Too tired for photoshop right now!Remember, I am being kind. Should you retaliate with any hideous pictures of my college past, I will post.......MATCHY LEATHER JACKET PICTURE! Gasp! :)

Thanks for the memories, Bevy...can't wait to catch up this summer!

Whatever did you do to deserve this kind of treatment?

Disco Party....I must've heard Deadhead party. This one belongs on FB for sure!

Some ill-forsaken toga party. Note your artfully and thoughtfully designed toga...and me with a sheet thrown over myself. Also notice the crimped hair. If you were really my friend you wouldn't have let me go out like that.

Who won the scrunchie contest, anyway?

You and Amy (with my brother, Joey in the backround) on top of Squaw Peak, summer of 1990.

MORE TO COME SOON!

Oyster Reef

Doug and his partner, Irv have been working on a new service for their business where they establish or re-establish oyster reefs in front of people's (waterfront!)homes. They experimented in front of the cottage and the results were amazing! The area above that is on the left and looks green is actually all oysters under seaweed. I remember not too long ago when it was nothing but mud. And old broken glass bottles. Incredible!

Here's what the oysters look like up close.

What little girl smiles while holding seaweed??? Mine does!

Oh good...we can finally start making our own sushi.

I love this hat. Just had to say it and show it.

I Saw Three Kids on Christmas Day

On Christmas afternoon, we headed down to the water to attempt to take a family picture. Afterwards, it was playtime!

Christmas

We had a quiet (mostly) relaxing Virginia Christmas this year, which was nice. Unfortunately I didn't get too many good Christmas morning shots...still figuring out this new camera! Here's a few.
