2005 - The Year in Pictures

This page is mostly about the pictures, but you might want to read Phil's year-end letter or Cindy's.  Be sure to come back later, though, there'll be more pics here.  You might also be interested in seeing pics of the Trigon Centennial.

We wish you a healthy and prosperous year for 2006!

  On our way back from Rochester last year, we got off I-75 and drove around the Seven Mile - Oakland area a little.  The house on the left is our house on Robinwood.  We moved there in 1967 and Mom lived there until she moved to Fraser in '71.

 

The second house from the corner is the house on Brentwood where we lived from '63 to '67.  I went to High School during the time we lived here.

 

This is the look up Robinwood from the end of our block.  I didn't count, but it seemed that more than half of the houses that were on the block are now gone.

   
 
 

Here we are at the State Park at Sandbridge, playing basketball.  I was sore for a couple days.

 

Cricket and Bill at the beach.  There are more Sandbridge pictures here.

 

  Greg and I - well, mostly Greg - broke up the concrete steps ourselves. Once he gets going, Greg is a destructive machine.

 

This year we got the house repainted.  This is, for the oblivious among you, is the before picture.  

 

  Beginning last year and continuing into 05, Cindy installed this landscaping, commonly called Hasta City.  Note the fallen mimosa blossoms on the ground; we had a bumper crop this year.

 

Here's the back of the house with no shingles.  The house is old enough to have what looked like 1 x 10s instead of sheets for the roof.

 

Over Labor Day, we went to the Trigon Centennial celebration.  This is the room I lived in and these guys are two of my roomies: Bob and Lauren. 

 

The old Trigon building now houses the Karl Gregory coop.

  This one doesn't have anything to do with us, but it sure is cool.
