Revel and I went out to Jamestown, RI last weekend. When we left, we were worried that we would get rained out, but we had just enough nice weather to have a great time on the rocks looking out at the ocean. There were lots of sailboats out enjoying the strong winds.


Tasha and Daisy had a great time as well and were well worn out after our hike.
Check out a few more pictures after the break and a lot more in the photo album.

This is my first post from my iPhone. I just downloaded the Wordpress app for my phone and I’m loving it! I’m such a geek.
I took a picture of my fish with the phone. Let’s see how it comes out.

Revel and I went down to South Carolina back at the end of June for my sister Christine’s wedding. It was also a chance for Revel to meet my two brothers, Daniel (lives in Switzerland) and Philip (lives in Tokyo, Japan). We had a great time down there and Christine and Ricardo’s wedding was great. Here are some pictures from our trip and the wedding.

As Revel mentioned in the previous post, I recently (last year) became a US citizen. After becoming Naturalized last year, I needed to get a passport. So after some procrastinating, I finally applied. Less then two weeks later, I have my passport! (that’s fast!) So I am once again free to travel the world.

My passport and Naturalization certificate
Every 4th since I can remember my family has participated in the Marion parade. This year Michael experienced his first 4th parade as a US Citizen.

Here’s me, Michael, and my cousin Alison waiting for the parade to begin.

My other cousin Abbie, me & Michael, Alison and her husband Jon.

My cousins and Jon zipping into the parade with a WW II jeep.

My mom and I taking a break from our vehicles after the parade. My parents drove their Model A and Michael and I drove my dad’s 1968 jeep.

Michael dipping into the parade candy!
After the parade my family and a few friends came by my house for a little get together.

My Matron of Honor (Laura) and Maid of Honor (Julie) did an amazing job organizing a surprise shower for me. Here are a few pictures.

Isn’t the cake beautiful?

As part of the CCCGA Leadership Development Program, which I have been participating in for the last several months, a trip to Washington D.C was sponsored by First Pioneer Farm Credit. In Washington the Leadership Team met with Ron Carlton at Senator Kennedy’s Office, Trevor Dean at Senator Clinton’s Office, Peter Kovar at Congressman Frank’s Office, and with Congressman Delahunt. We emphasized the importance of cranberry industry in our state and throughout the country and the value of the Cranberry Research Enhancement Initiative in the 2007 Farm Bill.

Don’t we look brilliant!
Here are a few more pictures I took as we raced through the Capital from one appointment to the next:

Last week Revel had Tasha and Daisy shaved to help them keep cool in the summer (and reduce the amount of hair everywhere). Here are a few pics of them enjoying their new look.

Tasha being good as usual. Because her coat is large, she looks especially different now without her hair.

Daisy begging for (and getting) a belly rub.
