Words to live by...

“To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
~~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

My 1st Post Blog

Instead of Blog Post - get it?!

Once a year I plan to print this blog into a book, so I will being doing quite a few "Post Blogs" to capture a few memories from the past years that I don't want left out.

Post Blog = a memory from the past. You follow? :) Good!

Last August, Keyo, Juliet & I took our first Family Vacation to Lake Chelan in Eastern Washington. Also on this trip were the Hardin's, The Kuntz Family, my parents Jim & Jan, and family friends Anton & Yvonne Karm. It was quite the bunch!

The drive to Chelan is about 4.5 hours - not too bad unless you're a six year old.



Or if you're the guy doing the driving.



Each family rented a condo and we stayed 5 nights. The view from the porch of our condo was amazing! This is exactly why Keyo and I want to retire to a body of water ~ imagine waking up to this every day!



Warning - you're about to encounter a bunch of pictures - I couldn't not include them!
