I didn’t take a lot of pix on recent trip to Destin because Barb’s brother Chris is a damned fine photographer and snapped about 500 images. I added 20 or 30 to my flickr set.
Someone hired a professional beach photographer to get some family shots. For some reason, all beach photogs have a thing for khaki pants and white shirts. There’s a proof page here (very lo rez) but not for long. I like Chris’s images better.
Received this email from my brother: “I have been in Yogyakarta, Central Java (Indonesia), doing earthquake relief. Just got to an internet cafe tonight. Over 100,000 homeless after the quake here. Not as many deaths as Aceh (7,500), but lots of homes destroyed. Crazy what is happening here. Volcano active as well (Mount Merapi).”
Barb, Jan, Lew, Chris and Beth. The Miltenbergers. Fashion ran a close second to ultraviolet protection on Miltenberger family vacations.
Light (no?) posting for a couple of days. Off to Tulsa for a last visit with my brother and his family before they return to Indonesia. Gonna miss ’em. Probably won’t see them again for 2 or 3 years. Next trip will be to enroll Ryan in college. We’ve had some good visits and they’re ready to go “home.”
Today was/is our 27th wedding anniversary. Barb and I have been together 33 years. I sent her flowers and she bought me a certificate for three massages. Barb has asked for a new, larger TV for the living room. Tonight we drank a few beers and went to Chili’s for burgers. You tell me, did I marry the right girl?
