Christmas 1988 and our camera was not co-operating. But everyone arrived safely and the party began.

Sam and I enjoyed our presents while Jeanne was "thrilled" with her "piggies".

Christmas is always fun with Jeanne's family. Sam is a very unusual cat. He like to watch TV. So we made him some videos of birds on the feeders in the backyard and let him watch it every now and then.

Jeanne did a wonderful job with our backyard. So many nice flowers and arrangement.

Spring is always nice in Columbus as the cold, gray weather finally gives way to sunlight. We call Columbus the "cloud capital of the world" as it seems every cloud comes here.

We never gave a 2nd thought as to how close the houses are to each other. There is only about 10' between houses except on our right (the right photograph) where there is an extra 10' for a path to a school that was suppose to be built behind us. But the Board Of Education finally sold the land and condos were built there. They worked out ok, i.e. no noise, etc.
