I Will Remember You

Reflecting back over the last few days, I realized I'd neglected to post any black and whites of Craig's family. And there's quite a story with his ancestors! They were regular pioneers in Western Kansas. His grandmother on his mother's side could remember walking behind a covered wagon when her family moved from their former homestead near Coffeyville, Kansas to a new one outside of Dodge City in Ensign, Kansas. Her father, Craig's great-grandfather, was a Marshall in Dodge City. So the family lore includes outlaws riding out and shooting up their house, Indian uprisings when the family had to go into the fort at Dodge (Fort Dodge) until the danger passed, etc... It was the Wild Wild West out there compared to where my family settled in Eastern Kansas. Anyway, I thought this would be a nice tribute to Craig's mom and family.

Back to the Beach!

I'm weary of the desert and need a beach break! This summer, I decided to learn how to use the software on my computer to make a slideshow with music (as opposed to plugging my pictures into Photoshow). I've always been techno-challenged since I have no training, but I did finally manage to get the job done. And post it on YouTube! Here's Isla Mujeres 2008!
