The Unacceptable Face of Football

There are just so many things wrong with this picture......general graffiti, spoiling the unspoilt Bahamas, ugly signage. But most of all the content. For those who don't know, this is the sign of Mark's favorite loves, his wife of course and....Dundee Football Club (DFC!). Now it is bad enough in itself that Mark would feel the irresistible urge to dob paint on the side of his property to profess his undying passion for his home team....but this ain't no Barcelona, Inter Milan or Manchester United. In fact, this isn't even currently a Scottish Premier team - at least not til next year!!

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Lisa's Mum and Dad are visiting and they brought us a boat!!! We are really loving it. Here are some pictures, including a view of Mark's DFC graffiti on our wall. Lisa is going to make him paint over it...

The Grandchildren

Lisa-Marie's Mum and Dad arrived today for a week long visit after having Emily visit them in PA for two weeks. Now Emily is off to Kansas City and Syracuse with her Dad before they both head back here in August because her Dad will be teaching at her school next year. We are thrilled to get her back a little early.

While she was in PA my sister took the opportunity of getting all 6 grand-children in a photo. We got the opportunity of another look at Emily's glamourous new haircut :-)

The children are (from left) Tommy, Maggie, Emily and Jack with the newest member's (my brother Alan and Sister-in-law Diane's twins) Olivia and Katie on Emily's lap.
