Master Sign Makers

Jeff and Monique and family were fast approaching the East coast of the U.S., travelling at high speed, aimed for their home on Sprucewood Drive in Gilford, NH. All their belongings were in a big truck, headed for the same place.

Gran said, "We need a sign!"

Gramps printed out some letters on a big piece of paper, but Gran said, "That's not a good sign!"

Then Sophie, Margaret and Annika got out their markers and went to work. Each letter got an original pattern of happy color. Embellishments were added. Everyone signed it.

Gran said, "That's a great sign!"

Everyone was happy. When Jeff, Monique, Andrew, James, Emmaline and Elliot arrived, they saw the sign and were happy, too.

St. Patrick's Day Parade - South Boston 3/15

Last Sunday I trooped the St. Pat's parade in South Boston with the rest of the New England Garrison of the 501st Legion. I was dressed as a Tusken Raider (the tan guy down in front), which is an easier costume to wear when walking farther than 50 feet - though visibility is an issue! We were joined by members of our Rebel sister group, Alderaan Base, and Legion members from Canada, New York, and Pennsylvania. We had over 50 marchers and the parade was watched by an estimated 600,000 people! Here are a few photos from the event, and you can see more here, and a short YouTube video of us here. I came away from the parade with one blister, sore legs, and some great memories!

Captain Rex taking a break from working the crowd.
Boba Fett and Vader. The guy doing Vader that day is 6'11 - he's huge! Chip just had a baby, so that's him holding his new apprentice, I mean, his 3 mo. old. We even had R2 and C-3PO!

Photos from Adrian

Here's some photos we got from Adrian on his mission - spiced up by me with a couple quotes from the movie Nacho Libre...





1) Adrian going into the Missionary Training Center in Provo on February 4th.

From Nacho Libre... "The brothers don't think I know a butt-load of crap about the gospel.... but I doooooo".


2) We don't know what Adrian's doing here. Having fun I suppose.

From Nacho Libre... "If I win at the battle jam tonight maybe that means God wants me to be his warrior missionary".





3) Adrian with his new buddies.

From Nacho Libre... "Steven, why have you never been baptized?"

"I never got around to it, ok?"

4) Adrian's currently in Umatilla, Oregon near the Columbia River.

Ok, I've run out of quotes...




5) Adrian gets a sweet new bike.
