One weekend in Bangkok

A colleague, mentor and friend from Cargill came to Singapore for the last time before she retires in September. For years we've been wanting to do a little excursion together, and it finally happened. We went to Bangkok for the weekend, which just so happened to be the same weekend that protestors stormed the Prime Minister's office resulting in a Thai state of emergency! While we barely noticed in Bangkok, Nancy did have to cancel her next leg in Phuket - better safe than sorry. Here's wishing Nancy a happy retirement!

I think the cats may have been a bit bored while we were away...

BBQ @ WBL

Yet another great day as friends and offspring joined us for a barbecue at Susan's parent's White Bear Lake home. Sorry Matt & Becca, no pictures of you. Click for more...

congratulations Julie & Rob!

If there is anyone that could pull off a spectacular wedding in less time (six weeks) than we did (eight weeks), it would be Susan's sister, Julie (with a little help from her mom, right Rob?). Congratulations! Consider coming to Singapore for a second honeymoon...

The great weather continued as we headed to Eau Claire to see Jack & Mary, John & Carrie, and one very cute Lily. Thanks for the Leine's, brats, cheese curds and hospitality! Click on photo to see more...

back in the bwca

There's no better way to start off a three week holiday than with a trip to the boundary waters. Susan and I enjoyed four days of perfect weather and plump blueberries on South Hegman Lake. Also pictured are ages-old rock pictographs and the most scenic Angleworm Lake. We will no doubt return to these lakes one day. Click on the photo to see more...
