THIS WAS A GREAT YEAR FOR US...... 2/7/2007 was our 21st anniversary
January found us cruising down to the Panama Canal with a group of great friends. What a blast. We snorkeled, ate some wonderful food, ziplined through the canopy of a rain forest, took a thousand photos, got drunk with the 'locals', danced and partied every day. |

IF THERE'S A PARTY, WE'RE AT IT. IF NOT, WE'LL START IT.

This years 6TH ANNUAL VALENTINES DAY FISH FRY had an island theme. We fed just over 50 friends and had a great time. Its the first year I forgot to get a 'group shot' of everybody. So, here's a photo of the two hosts, tired from all the work but, still smiling. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

APRIL CRUISE DOWN THE MEXICO COAST
Our son, Greg, took us on a cruise for Steve's upcoming 60th birthday. WOW! Two cruises in one year. We are starting to feel like the 'Rich & Famous'. What a great time we had going down the Mexican Coast. |

MAY IN NEW MEXICO
As always, we were home in New Mexico, for Mother's Day. We had a great time with the family. The adults are getting older and the kids are getting bigger. TIME FLIES WHEN YOURE HAVING FUN. |

Jesse & Isabel came for a Thanksgiving visit
Jesse & Isabel Cadena are from Ruidoso Downs, N.M. and, are our longtime RVing friends. Even after we both stopped RVing, we still find time to see each other. They came for a 5 week visit and, BOY, did we have fun. We partied with the park folks, partied at Marvins, partied in Mexico and partied at the house. Plus, we played over 220 games of SEQUENCE. We visit them on our trips to and from Albuquerque every year.(their casinos have the best SLOTS) We sure hope they come back and spend some more time partying with us. |
AND THAT'S WHAT 2007 LOOKED LIKE
I ran out of room before I could finish the photo show. There's a lot more stuff that happened this year but not enough space to write about it. Trying to select the last photo for this page was a challenge. Seeing how eating and fishing are two of our favorite things, I've included a shot from The Red Snapper lounge in Progreso, Mexico. It's a giant fried shrimp, half the size of my hand. Or course, you can see several glasses of pina coladas in the background. IT WAS HAPPY HOUR. |
