Portland, Oregon. Longtime friend Gulnara with her first ever visitor from Russia, her Dad Ramil. Off to explore the famous Rose Garden. Castle, a found object artist at the Saturday Market. told me where to find a few of the rare Oregon bricks. They were nestled under the roots of a fallen cottonwood tree right below the St. John's Bridge

. You know they are going in Becky's hut.

Isaac Jackson Tetrault

Here are a few pictures of my brand new grandson Isaac Jackson Tetrault. My barber and I are currently negotiating a visit to Boston to see him. In the last 40 years only my wife and my daughter have cut my hair and I see no reason to change. But it suddenly looks like everyone is well and so the plan now is a big blow out 2nd birthday celebration for baby Simone at the end of June.

Mother's Day 2016

To celebrate Mother's Day I took a road trip with Grandma Jo to Urbana and then Kirkmont, the church camp in Logan County where Jo was a counselor and the director. The Ohio countryside never looked so beautiful.
Afterwards when I mentioned to Jo that I didn't have a picture of Becky on display she gave me this one. It is from the early 80's when we were poor as church mice and happy as clams. Becky went to Florence Mall where she had her picture taken all gussied up at Glamour Shots. In those days she didn't wear make up so after a couple of days she threw them all out. Except one, which Jo secretly hid from her for all these years.
A special Mother's Day wish to my son and daughter, Jasper and Sarah Gilliam Tetrault.
