This was taken while attending a
luau in Maui in the summer of 2009. This is a sight not seen very
often (me in a dress). Over my right shoulder is the condo I stayed
in for the week. Very nice!

My lazy fat cat Bear
He weighs about 18 pounds.

He's pretty but not so nice.

My friend Mrs. Naiman and I in Glacier
National Park. You can see I was geocaching in MT this summer. We
had to hurry because my mom was waiting for us at the bottom.

Camping in Sequoia National Park
in 2006 by the campfire with a good book and the river nearby
PERFECT!!!
|

This is me at TJ Lake in the Sierras
in 2008. It was a gorgeous day and no one else was around to bother
me. Again, PERFECT!!!
|

Mr. Bradley and I on Santa Cruz Island
He teaches high school physics in Santa Barbara, coaches basketball and tennis and owns his own driving school. Very ambitious! |

This is me solo camping and hiking
in the Sierras in the summer of 2008. This was around Saddlebag
Lake Loop somewhere.

I was fortunate to participate in the Flight Line
experience that is offered at the Wild Animal Park. I enjoyed
the animals more than I thought I would be able to. I had a great
time.

Last year's students paid for me to
do a sunrise bike ride down Haleakala Crater in Hawaii. Being
above the clouds and watching the sun rise is an amazing experience.
Pictures alone cannot capture the feeling. To that end, it had
more meaning this year than one could possibly imagine.
And yes, it was that cold!

This is my dad and I celebrating
my birthday in 2007. Every year he gets me a bouquet of carnations
for every year I am old. It has become an expensive proposition
and I've even tried to let him out of it but he still continues.
