Gabe’s next nice catch is this sweet northern pike. It’s really quite a nice catch right off the dock. It’s good enough to bring grandpa out to have a look.

Gabe has gone hog wild for fishing this year. Monica and Gabe show off the first nice catch of the summer for Gabe. We don’t typically show off the rock bass he catches by the dozens each day, but this one ain’t no rock bass baby!

It’s always a beautiful day in Bootjack, and it often ends with a spectacular sunset.

It’s that time of year again. Charlotte heads out to the beautiful shores of Portage Lake for many weeks of unmitigated fun. Sure wish I was going with them, though the long trip through Minneapolis airport isn’t something I really dream about.

The garden is coming along great this year. The warm weather has been a bit slow, so the tomato plants are a bit behind.

Time to get down to some real shopping. This is the first time that Charlotte’s seen the new Union Square since they redid it.

Jeff and Eileen sent these pictures to Monica. Monica says they look like cute little cows. She’s got this cow thing.

Charlotte and Lynn head up to San Francisco to enjoy the weekend together. Lynn and Peter are headed to Spain for Peter’s next post soon, so this is the last chance for a get together unless we head out to Europe. They’re staying at the Marine Club near Union Square.

Nick has been excited for weeks preparing for the upcoming Julius Caesar play. He’s playing the part of Cicero and he has his lines all memorized. There’s plenty of preparations before the play starts. Lynn’s up visiting and helps Charlotte with things. Looks like I’m running a few minutes late. Nick looks so grown up with his sideburns. If it wasn’t for the toga, he would be the splitting image of Elvis. I was very impressed with all the kids. They memorized their lines perfectly and spoke very clearly and with great emotion. They sure do grow up quick. ...

Another of Valri’s pets makes its way to the Multer house. This time it’s Booster, and Cheerio is in love again. He isn’t quite as noisy as Ruby, but he definitely spends a lot of time singing love songs.
