On May 18th, 2002, my good friend Pauline married her long-time sweetheart, Martin.  The wedding was in London, where they both live, so Jeff and I flew over for the wedding.  Oh, dear, what a bother!  It was a wonderful wedding, and Jeff and I enjoyed visiting London.  We also stopped over in Reykjavik, Iceland for about three days.  HERE are a few pictures from our trip (with more to come).

April 2003:  Work has finally begun on scanning all the old family photos.  To view the work thus far click HERE.

Last September (2001) Jeff and his friends Steve went on a great bike adventure, riding Route 66 from Iowa to LA!   To read about their mis-adventures visit www.geocities.com/bikingfools

The main exciting news in my life is that I am finally freelance, and that Jeff and I bought a townhouse!  We've been unpacking slowly, and now we're preparing to turn the two smaller bedrooms into a very nice office.  C'mon in and visit the destruction.

Jeff and I also bought a Toyota Prius, which is a hybrid gas-electric car.  We picked Blur Moon Pearl for the color.  Take a look at our car, or visit the Toyota website.

Last summer my cousin Eric McHenry got married in Topeka, Kansas.   If you didn't make it to the wedding, you can enjoy the festivities by clicking HERE.

For Christmas Jeff and I visited my mom in Michigan.  My aunt Pat recently moved back to Chelsea, and so we were able to visit with her, and my cousins Trand and Chance.  It was a wonderful time.  Click HERE to see a few pictures from Christmas 2001.

In other news, and sadly, my childhood cat, Growltiger, passed away this spring.  Although he was named from one of the T.S. Eliot poems, and at one time had a great snaggle tooth, he by no means lived up to his name:  "Growltiger was a bravo cat who traveled on a barge/ In fact he was the roughest cat that ever roamed at large."  Tiger was quite mellow, and enjoyed taking a nap with you, climbing into bags and under blankets, and, as all cats do, squeaking at birds.  HERE are some pictures of him in his better days.
