Autumn Leaves

The leaves,
shades of crimson, gold and green
football games unforeseen
applesauce, my mother's dream
remains in my memories
beside the crisp,cool lake
in the land of eternal youth...

A wee bit ghetto!

That was the phrase that Elias & his cousins coined after the trip from "Bal-mo", MD!A good time was had by all & Auntie Shade was in heaven with her 3 little darlins!

Elias & co had a "drive-by" tour of DC & got to spend some time with Stephens' grandparents who took them to a Bowie Baysox game!

Back in school & in the 5th grade! Can't believe it myself!

Greetings from Kiwiland

Hey Guys,
I just wanted to say hello from New Zealand. We're in this beautiful ski resort town of Queenstown on the south island. It's right on a lake with snow-capped mountains surrounding us on every direction. New Zealand is a great country, it reminds me a lot of Ireland. We'll be starting work on Monday doing manual labor so we're looking forward to earning some money the hard way for a change!

I'll be posting internet pics soon.

Hope all is well with you guys. Feel free to e-mail me at rysullivan1@hotmail.com.

By the way I look very friendly and attractive in that last pic with Katey and John. Wow.
