Presents!

Thursday was Gabe's birthday, so we drove over to Mark's to celebrate the special occasion.  It was nice to see everyone.

Venus Transit 2012

Dad preparing the binoculars

 We watched some of the Venus Transit from our own driveway.  It was pretty cool.  The pictures didn't turn out real well, but you can see the small black dot that is Venus at the top of the sun.  The other lines are tree branches.

Sun projected through binoculars onto posterboard.  Venus is the small black dot at the top.  

 

Happy 42nd Anniversary

Tuesday, June 5th, was our 42nd wedding anniversary.

 We celebrated by taking the car in for an oil change, then getting a loaner car and driving to Red Lobster for lunch.  The loaner was a sporty convertible stick shift.  Because the seats didn't really move, poor dad could barely get his legs in, and I had to put something behind me to sit close enough to reach the pedals.  But, it was fun.  The food was good, too!
