Spring Concert at Mountain Valley High School
Alex performed the final number at the high school's spring concert. His first-ever solo performance and he nailed it. Here, he's thanking the Rumford and Mountain Valley High School communities for his "awesome" year. He received a standing ovation from part of the audience after his song. You may find the video of his performance on YouTube at this address:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCbbsQuUmV8

Saying good-bye to Newport Beach & the Kent's
On Sunday we packed up the fancy car and took one more trip around Newport Beach. Then, we sat around the airport for a few hours before jumping on the red eye back to reality. Now, the furnace is on warming up our old house that sat vacant for 11 days. We have great memories of a fun trip.
Our thanks to the Kent's. Their generous hospitality and easy-going way makes visiting a pure joy. Thank you Anne, Rob, Victoria, and Tyler... and Hi to Ryan.

Eight-hour drive through the desert
After two days in Sedona, Arizona, we headed back west to Anne and Rob Kent's home in Newport Beach, California. We hit temperatures ranging from 95 degrees F to 110 degrees F (35 C to 43 C). We decided to test the walking at 100 degrees--those walks didn't last long.
