VERY BELATED 4TH OF JULY PICS

So, after something like 10 years (and 4 states later -- geographically speaking, not mentally, of course -- well, wait a minute, that's not entirely true in some cases...) Cristina finally decided to grace us with her company and pay us a legitimate visit. The kids had a great time with Ruth & Cris -- or maybe it was the other way around. :) Either way, it was a lot of fun, and waaaay too short a visit. Here are just a couple of pics of the 4th. Unfortunately, I didn't get a good shot of Ruth's thighs burnt to a crisp. Or one of both of them all bundled up in fleece and knee-high socks while the rest of us were in our flip-flops and sleeveless shirts. Or one of Ruth driving the Mustang -- or Cris driving the LandRover. Or one of the two of them chowing down on my famous carne guisada and mashed potatoes. But I AM still waiting to get copies of the photos from Cris' camera (hint! hint!), as I believe there are a whole handful of other very highly incriminating ones of ME that I'd like to doctor up before seeing posted all over the 'net!!! ;)

But anyway...thanks for the visit. Hope you come back soon. Love and miss ya! Us...
