IT'S A BOY ! ! ! ! We are so excited to welcome a new little Egan boy in August!

These two young fellows were roommates and friends at Fort Wolters during their helicopter training school in 1966. After losing contact with each other for many years, John found Bruce and we visited he and his wife in Ft. Walton Beach. The stories and memories were priceless!Now that they have reconnected we hope to see more of them.

John with Ricky and Bruce Roberts who all lived at the same apartment complex back in the 60's. We enjoyed our visit with them in Florida last week.

Spring Breakers head to sunny LA (Lower Alabama)

Greetings from beautiful Gulf Shores, Alabama!!

Our snowbirds from South Bend

Jack is learning to snorkel and we are building sand castles, flying kites and eating well.

It's an O'Doul's kind of spring break.....

Conner and his buddy from Houston.

We are here with all the kids, grandkids and our grandkids-to-be. It has been great weather so far and the sand and water are perfect!

Aloha

We have just returned from a very relaxing trip to the islands of Molokai and Lanai. I broke my camera on this trip so I had to borrow a few photos.We had beautiful weather while there but the islands had both flooded a week or so prior to our trip. This made for a very muddy MULE RIDE!

I somehow psyched myself out of all the fear and trepidation I was feeling about a mule ride straight down a 3000 foot sea cliff and off we went! After a very rigorous 5 minute training on mules we headed off with three guides. One of the guides played the ukulele while riding and they were very helpful in easing our nervousness. So John rode Smokey and I rode Elvira all the way down to the Father Damian settlement for leper patients. It is now a National Historic Park where we had a tour and then lunch before heading back up the trail. The views were amazing!

We spent many hours reading by the pool and watching humpback whales and spinner dolfins jumping in the water.Next we caught a short flight to Lanai for our final few days.

The hotel was surrounded by 100 year old Cook Island Pines.

One day we rode the inter island ferry to Maui. While walking down the street in LaHaina John spotted my brother Mike Scott! He and Nancy were on a cruise to New Zealand and just happened to have a cruise stop at the same place where we were that day. We got to visit for an hour or so and then we both boarded our respective vessels.

Our last day was spent snoozing on beautiful Hulopoe beach. It was a dream trip.....

MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER

This week my mother, Joan, passed away after a long battle with congestive heart failure. She lived her last years in sunny San Diego with her twin sister, Jean. They were a great pair, dressing alike, traveling, golfing, playing bridge, shopping and always beating their kids and grandkids at Trivial Pursuit.

My mother was the original June Cleaver. She wore the shirtdress, stockings and heels to greet my father each night when she met the 6:02 at the Wilmette train station.

She was a glamorous gal who loved her family and set a marvelous example for the 6 of us kids in being spouses, parents and grandparents. I will miss you Mothe!
