Now that the last post is more than 18 months old, I thought I’d up date the site. People have asked, I (belatedly) respond. What follows are three photos of the family and the latest flower installment in front of Casa De La Del El Haus Ferrare (Maryland branch).

The first photo is of Alexandra and Sue at an event of some kind — what kind exactly is, of course, immaterial. You can see Alexandra’s smile, which is under construction these days. Sue is smirking in the background.

The second one is of Alexandra and I on my 50th birthday last month. We took the photo with a small number of candles on the cake because, once we got all 50 on, it was like trying to take pictures of the sun and see detail. I’m sporting the goatee in this shot, which is something Alexandra talked me into growing and Sue said I should keep, as it deemphasizes the rest of my actual face.

The last is the front of the house. The previous owners were really into sculpting the whole flower bed thing, but we’re taking a somewhat simpler line. Pretty flowers. Sue did all the work, of course, and took the picture.

This being Memorial Day, we’re hanging out at home, eating sausages on the deck with visiting friend Tom Blake. I’ll try to capture a pic before he shoves off tomorrow.
