Visitors from far and near

July was a great month for visitors.

Letty came down and we took Sparky on a walk at the Beach:



There were huge Jelly fish all over the place. God knows how far they came from, but I haven't seen them again since.



Janet surprised us with a visit from Mexico.



and McKeever came through, He had been in Mexico as well.

New Car

Well, I really tried to buy a Prius - I plunked my deposit money down a couple of days after the accident that ended the career of my old foop.



But alas, after a few weeks of paying for a rental, I got an email from the dealer sayin, essentially, maybe, if you are lucky, in a week or two we will be able to tell you whether or not we'll be able to tell you how much longer the wait will be.

So, I bought a honda fit. Actually my dream car in a lot of ways.



And it's purple!

After considering naming it Fitts's law (that's a human factors joke), or the Little Easy (Blue's idea) I think I'm going to call it EZZ (Ezizi) after the first three letters on the license plate. I'm retiring the Foop plates, along with the Moop ones that came before.

Another great video

Italian Television

Jessica and Alex were interviewed by Italian TV about Ratatouille last year:



How we do love YouTube.

More Wedding Pictures: the Reception

The reception was a blast.

Jacob gave an unbelievably great toast,



And Alex gave one that made me mad, but entertained everyone else (he told a bunch of cautionary tales on Ellie.)



There was a bluegrass band, and dancing, dancing, dancing - especially Katy and Dorothy, who monopolized Kara.



Everybody danced!



they had petit fours instead of wedding cake, made by Jacob and his posse.
