before/after -
Jack's Antibes experience…riding Uncle Bert's folding bicycle and finding Coke and Pommes Frites anywhere, anytime. -
out for a fresh fish/seafood dinner near the port for Jack and Suzanne's last night yesterday, these are pictures Jack took..i like his perspective. -
Suzanne, Jack and i spent the morning and early afternoon at Hotal Royal Beach. it spoils you for public beaches forever…chaise lounges (with cushions), large umbrellas, side tables, fresh sand, clean water, beach-side drinks service, showers and changing rooms…we didn't have any Rose, but maybe next time…
i happily floated around in the sea water while Jack and Suzanne took out one of those rented foot paddle boats, complete with its own slide… -
ventured on a car trip into the mountains today to escape the heat and humidity in Antibes…had a lovely traditional french lunch (including cheese course, my favorite) in Coursegoules, drove back through the picturesque Gorges du Loup. in short: Suzanne isn't so keen on heights, i'm a pretty damn good driver (just watch that rolling back in idle thing), Jack can find pommes frites anywhere, Bert is crabby before his first cup of coffee, Mom isn't such a bad back seat driver afterall, a GPS thingy-ma-bob is always handy (we were up to 3500ft), and once again, Ruby is the best traveler of all. -
mom and bert got in some actual, honest-to-goodness sailing yesterday! with Suzanne and Jack on board! without any mishaps! look at her moving ropes and stuff…can you believe it? -
Salut to the McMullens! we hope everyone has a great time at this weekends McMullen family reunion…we are expecting pictures!

ok, Aunt Anna, these are special just for you. pic one, not the most attractive, but i'm not used to doing teethy pics..had a hard time even finding one for this project. pic two: after this mornings work..the middle front two are done. and they hurt like the dickens. feels like i've had a mac truck sitting on my mouth. it's hard to tell, but i think they do look much better (much whiter in person). the size feels better already, not so thick and stick-outy. -
Mom forgets how much she lost. i forget to keep my eyes open. Jack forgets to keep his shirt on.
