Lou's Fish Ponds & Tank

Lou has worked really hard these past 7 years to create beautiful ponds which gives us very relaxing water fall sounds along with the pleasure of watching our fish grow, have babies & give us satisfaction. In fact, Our coi are outgrowing the pond! Anyone have a pond stretcher! LOL

2 of the 6 2005 Safe Streets Super stars

Lou and I were recognized at a Fund Raising luncheon & introduced by Shawn Bunney Oct. 19th 2005. We both were really liasons for the community residents that did the work, for we, ourselves did not accomplish all that they said we did! Yeah for all of the Prairie Ridge residents that have worked so hard for the last 7 years without any recognition!

Alaska Cruise

We left at Pier 30 on the Holland ship Oosterdam. Big, HUH!
It was an outside passage to Alaska & Hubbard Glacier
This pic is of the ship while we were docked in Juneu. The first day of the crusie was stormy with waves up to 30ft high. Half of the ship got sick & the crew. Iwas fine by just eating light. Lou ate his dinner & mine! He was once in the Coast Guard, so no big deal to him. We were lucky to be on the ship wer were, for our Captain made the decision to go inside passage the rest of the trip & go to Glacier Bay instead. The Veedam was not so lucky. The captain stayed on the outside passage & they had up to 37ft waves to contend with along with a longer time within the storm. Thank God for our wise captain! All of the ports were sunny and nice. I won an all day Spa day! Really cool.
