But we braved the walk along side the traffic to eat lunch at the Templar Knights restaurant. In this photo you can see just how close the road is to the restaurant. The white line behind Cathy is the edge of the road. Friday, October 23, 2009.

Thursday, August 10, 2017. Travelling to Plymouth and Cornwall is beginning to turn into a regular event each year. Aunt Joan, my mothers sister, lives near Plymouth. She will be 99 on 21st December and we need to call in there to catch up on all the worlds news! We stay at cousin Cathy, her daughters home nearby. Walkway to ferry for local island. Hotel named after Mary Stewart, Queen of Scots.

Bill, Cecilia, Mason, Audrey and Sasha. Thursday, September 14, 2017. It seems obvious that I stopped updating this blog. I might still create a few entries, but they will probably be many months apart. Both still go to swim team, have piano and Chinese classes on Sundays. It is busy for them and for us. We both stayed regimented in working out with our perso.

Ariel jumped out of a perfectly good plane! This is a big month for our family.

The process was only somewhat painful when I was spending a lot of time preserving food for the winter.
