Back in April, 2002 we visit our friends Korey, Phil and Emily. We went to the aquarium, the butterfly farm and just had a lot of fun playing cards at home. I can't wait to see them again soon.

friends Sherri and Jim.... And Brett. Cute as a button... Brett that is...

Satomi, Yuki and Dad

This is my friend Hiroko's two daughters, Riho and Rina. Riho is 9yrs old and Rina is 2yrs old. Buffy, their family pet is a very special boy. I had a hand in helping with his training when his family lived state-side.

Here is Riho and Rina, Christmas, 2001.

Here is a picture of Jose and Niquita on his lap (I think she is Daddy's girl) and Danny looking on. Oh yes, Kooma is keeping watch in the background.

After staying up until 2am we finally finished that puzzle.

Naomi is back for a visit from Japan. Here she is with my dogs, and a visitor, Asa.
