Click on any of the little pictures to see it at normal size. Click on the '=0=' after the picture to see it in giant size (about 2 minutes to download on dialup connection and larger than screen size). This could be useful if you wanted to really look at one part of the picture or to make a print.

Jessie. =0= Paiton. =0= Eli, Deborah, Kari, and Missy. =0=
Above are pictures of Jessiah (or Jessie) and Paiton, Kari's kids. On the right above is the whole crowd, Eli, Deborah, Kari, and Missy with the dinner all laid out. Here is a pciture of Shannon, Deborah's oldest daughter, with Deborah. Shannon lives in a home for the developmentally disabled shown below. Shannon is wearing a bicycle helmet as she sometimes has epilectic seizures and we worry that she would hurt her head on pavement and such when away from the house the work. She works assembling first aid kits (putting the right stuff in each kit). Below on the right is a picture of Shannon and Jessie at Kari's house on Jessie's birthday (next week). Jessie is showing Shannon her new pet turtle. Shannon and Deborah. =0=
Shannon group home. =0= Shannon and Jessie. =0=
This is Jessie blowing out her birthday candles. Their pet love bird is in the background. They had had two, but one flew out the door, never to return and the other was depressed for four days. I guess their names are accurate. Below is the entrance to Kari's apartment. Kari is the manager of this nice little 26 unit apartment complex. Her apartment is right most of this building. Next to that is a picture of me, Jessie (mostly hidden) and Paiton on the swing in front of Shannon's apartment. We took it with Deborah's cell phone camera and is at really low resolution (just the size shown). We need to find out if it can take pictures at a resaonable size. Jessie with Shannon, Kari, and friend. =0=
Kari's apartment complex. =0= Brian (Jessie) and Paiton.
Early in June Deborah had a weekend with the kids. Kari's cat had had kittens just three days before and only one of the three of them them had opened one eye. They were very tiny. Here is Kari's cat nursing her kittens. Below are Jessie and Paiton each holding a kitten. Kari's cat. =0=

Deborah had won a bunch of steaks at the local foodmarket (Thriftway) and we had a really nice BBQ steak dinner in the yard. It was great. . =0=
Pumpkins. As Deborah and I spend so much time talking, it was hard to manage my cell phone minutes as I only have a cell phone. I tried it out at the Practices Retreat at the end of June. It can also do video images. This is not a very good one (not enough movement for such low resolution), but showed me its abilities in case I need it. Here on the left are the little pumpkin plants I planted outside my apartment (using a tiny picture option) and on the right are some roofers who were working that weekend. Both are done in different modes (smaller pictures) which have no more detail than that shown.
Yoga Meditation Center.
While it has a digital zoom, all it does was cut off three quarters of the picture so that the above (using zoom) is just an excerpt of the picture shown here with no larger size. Oh well, it is nice to always have a camera with me. Yoga Meditation Center.
