For your Friday pleasure, here are three pictures I’d meant to put up before, but never had the chance to:

Here Angela and I are in the mountains over the coast of Puntarenas. We went to a botanical garden with my friend Mike’s parents Janis and Steve Stroh, who visited Costa Rica in January with their friends Judy and Steve. It was very nice to hang out with them a bit, and they even got to see our nearly-completed house. Not only were they some of our first houseguests, but they were also the first guests who we forgot to ask to sign our guestbook! This picture is taken by Steve Stroh.

This tree was in the botanical gardens, also. You can see them throughout the country, and I always love the way the branches fan out.

Finally, back to Colorado… I believe our friend Aaron McGrew took this picture. In any case, it’s a simulation of what I would look like with an awful combover. Sometimes–but only very rarely–I’m pretty glad to have my hair the way it is now. When I look at this picture, it’s one of those times.

Anyhow, have a good weekend, and I’ll try to keep the frequent blog updates coming (But don’t let that prevent you from having a good weekend!)
