    Pete & Jill,
    Thanks for bringing the new wave of flower children to the screen. The Puertas are all in force for the next surge of peace and love. By the way, whose kids are those in the picture?

    PS: I have to learn how to post,

    Best regards,
    Ed and Esther

    As usual a great time with great friends. We all are very lucky to still be going on our annual campout. Looking forward to this year’s trip, a new area of the camp ground.
