Yeah!

My wife has returned to me. Chelle is home and she had a great time in MN. We will post some photos after she gets unpacked and caught up on her sleep.

The Brentwood Bean is sure growing.

Baby Jacqueline Conway is certainly growing quick up fast.

Visit to the Reagan Library


My father is a Reagan fan. To date he has read 65 books on the man and his presidency. This was dad's third time to the library, still that didn't quench his enthusiasm for sharing it with us.



The highlight of the library has to be the Air Force One on display. Tail number 2700 had served 8 presidents, but the Reagan library was given the pleasure of displaying it.

It is much smaller inside then one would think. Really doesn't feel as big as some of the tour busses on our roads today. However, it is real amazing to be inside the jet that carried 8 presidents and to think that some major world decisions were made in it.




There was also the presidential limo, some secret services vehicles and a version of Marine One on display.



Neither Chelle nor I are big into politics, but you couldn't help be impressed by the life the man lead and even more so with the love that he and Nancy seemed to share.

My Niece the Thespian



India Parish (actress)


India is a star! Friday the 29th was opening nite for "And Then They Came For Me" at the Foot Hill Theater in Nevada City, CA. The play is based on testimonial from two holocaust survivors. It was really great to see India performing. She was so great!


We also celebrated India's 15th birthday. It was actually on Monday the 25th, but we were happy to wish her happy birthday while we are all together as a family.






Ahnalin is growing up fast. We had a great time playing jax and chasing each other around the kitchen. She is a real cutie.




Saturday we all bar-b-qued on the back Patio. Don's parents Ralph and Lynn were very gracious host. They allow us to invade their beautiful home every time we visit. We are very blessed to have a great family as well as a great extended family.



Mom and Dad Crowe drove back with Chelle and I to our home. and will be staying with us all week. We are looking forward to spending more time with them. Dad has big plans to visit the Seal Training grounds near San Diego and the Reagan Ranch and Library in Simi Valley. I will try to get photos of that to post.
