Neal on October 31st!

I think Neal loves Halloween. Here's his email message that he sent with the photo: Halloween was last week. You know what that means. Another Halloween costume. I was feeling a little Jamaican this year.

Randall & Hillary

During Hillary Clinton's October visit to New Hampton, Iowa, Randall had a prepared, researched question relating to Iran for Hillary - which resulted in ruffled feathers and raised voices from both of them. Lisa, at Randall's side where she was very aware the tone of his voice meant he was angry, was eyeing the secret service man standing about five feet away. But things did calm down, and Randall made the national news! Just try googling 'Randall Rolph' or click on this link.

Downtown San Francisco

After coming up the stairs from BART, San Francisco's subway, the first thing Dave and I saw was fantastic architecture like this building near our hotel in the center of action in downtown San Francisco. Besides enjoying Emily's wedding and getting together with relatives, we enjoyed a tour of the Giant's baseball park by a guide who loved his job. After our cable car ride to Fisherman's Wharf, we enjoyed clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl and then heard the raucous and fortissimo sea lions at Pier 39. A fun trip!

Emily's San Francisco Wedding

Here's Emily and her dad going down the aisle toward the Pacific Ocean in this outdoor wedding at the Cliff House in San Francisco. The sunset was just perfect and the breeze made Emily's veil flutter and float. In fact, sometimes her veil was vertical!

Favorite Photo from Yesterday's Hike

Taken at serene Nolte State Park where we walked the 1.4 mile trail around Deep Lake. Nolte is about five miles from Enumclaw.
