Vic and Kara in 2013

Vic appears to have the world in his
hands out on the Gulf.
 
The rig at night looks like it is decorated
for Christmas, but high waves delayed Vic's
stay offshore.

Vic and Kara all dressed up
for a special occasion ...
 
... and fooling around on the steamboat
Natchez on a vacation weekend
in New Orleans.


                                    
                 
     Kara snapped this photo of
her sister Sara when they did an Arbonne show
together at a holiday market.
 
 
             Their pups Ginger and Clover    
    wait patiently for a piece of the stag roast
      that Vic brought home for dinner.



Highlights from our trip north in July 2013

Chris Weaver and Nancy Agafitei at Chris and Larry's
home in Shorewood, Illlinois.

A reunion at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champion.
L to R: Rick Agafitei, Camelia Goila, and Mirela, Eugenio
 and Luz-Elena Barrios.
Camelia is Rick's god-daughter from Romania.
Her family now lives in Mexico City.
 

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in
Bentonville, Arkansas.
 
This was my favorite piece from Crystal Bridges.
The artist is Tom Uttech. It's called "Enassamishhinjijweian",
which means "Hope of good things to come."
The bear is looking out at a world filled with
all kinds of birds and animals.
