The Fab Five was originally the Sweet Six, but Marijane left before we took this photo.  Jane, Chris, Pam, Ginger, and Rhonda were our local crew for the week and we can't begin to tell you how amazing these ladies are!  They started off on a promising note by feeding us, but this generosity escalated into a series of outlandish buffets that increased our appreciation and our waistlines... thanks ladies for a truly wonderful week!

Rover, Chris, and her youngest son Nathan posing for Mel's Portrait Studio.  Chris just amazed us all week.  This girl is just a happy person, always sharing a smile with you, dispensing optimistic words, giving so much of herself.

Me and Chris making some memories.  We spent entirely too much time telling jokes and laughing at one another.  If that's not fun, I don't know what is...

These kids cracked me up!  Can you imagine being the lone sister among quadruplet boys?  When I asked, she said that it's alright but what she really wants is a sister.  I'm going to wager that her mother is pretty much through with procreation...

Me and Rover taking a break and enjoying the peace, so to speak...  Is there any question now why I enjoy this job so much?  I get to travel the country, meet interesting and always entertaining people, teach children, and hang out with the largest dog in North America.  Case closed...
