Regina and Frank Spies Family 2006

On January 14 Regina finally managed to visit me with her whole family. Actually, there was a reason behind it.... she was delivering her cat, Shila, for me to cat-sit the next weeks. They wanted to see if the reason behind the family constantly having colds, etc. were do to cat allergies.

Family visit an May 28

Since Karen's mom, sister, and nephew were returning to India on the 29th, Regina invited them and me to a final "family reunion".

The weather held up long enough for some garden activity.
