Our permanent home is in Athens, GA where someone else has been mowing the lawn while we were doing Ministry in the Meantime. The tractor still works after 3 years in mothballs!

On my 65th birthday I drove to Rockville, MD and realized a life dream to own a Porsche Carrera 4. Slightly used it now has 35,000 miles on it. (Photo taken summer 2009 East Longmeadow, MA)

Heeding Roy Oswald's solemn advice to develop an avocation unrelated to our professional life I took up woodworking in 2001 in anticipation of retirement. I started with the Shopsmith all-in-one tool which has served me very well. Here it is in bandsaw mode.

Now in drill mode.

Later I added the 3 hp 220v Shop Fox table saw which is a dream to use.

Debby Perry is a wizard with the wok which reflects our mutual appreciation for any form of Asian cuisine. We are we are celebrating her birthday May of 2008 at the The Ambassador Dining Room in Baltimore--Indian cuisine!

Here we are in Maine in July 2009

Our pets, Rachel (Weimaraner) and Madonna (Kittykat) share the house with us.
