Jenna at Animecon







Jenna and her friends went to Animecon this past weekend. They entered into a skit contest at the last minute and won 2nd place. She found a video of their skit on utube. I have not seen it yet!

A Day at the Zoo






The other day, I planned to take Jenna and her friend Kristen ice skating. We made sure we wore pants because it is supposed to be pretty cold in an ice skating rink! When we got there, we saw a sign that said they are closed until some time in August. Since we were already out, and the zoo was just across the street, we decided to just go to the zoo instead. We all sure wished we had had shorts on! We had to buy hats and sunscreen, but it turned out to be a very nice visit to the zoo! They have made a lot of improvements recently and are adding a new section which is almost as big as the entire existing zoo is now!

Niagara Falls Trip



A couple of weekends ago, Lee and I met his brother Mark and sister-in-law Amy in Detroit and drove to Niagara Falls for the weekend. I had been in Detroit for the week and Lee flew up Wednesday. Mark and Amy flew up Thursday night. It was very interesting because we drove through Canada to get there. We also stayed on the Canadian side. you get a much better view of both sets of falls from there.
Here is a quick page I did.

Milestone Birthday


We recently celebrated a co-workers' BIG birthday. Tatsuo turned the big 40 on April 9.
We went to lunch at Villa y Zapata Restaurant (delicious Mexican Food). They brought him a piece of cake and plopped these sombreros on everybody - and me - being the one ALWAYS with the camera - just had to get pictures!
Aren't they hilarious?

Jenna's Happy Picture


I just love this picture of Jenna. She really looks happy! This was back in the days when she would actually let me touch her hair (ha ha) I loved the curls. She recently had me buy her a straightener because she hates her curls! Oh well, isn't that the way it usually is? Those with straight hair wish they had curls and those with curly hair wish it was straight!

4 Generations of Newmans


I didn't even know this photograph existed. I found it while looking for something else. I knew some 4 generation photos existed with me in them but this is my brother, so it is 4 generations of Newman men. I thought it was a very cool picture. Granddad (Ben F. Newman) actually lived to be over 100 years old. I can only hope some of his good genes got passed along to me!!
