Nick’s 45th Birthday!

Thanks so much to Karen & Pete for hosting a perfect party, and to the mighty Hickeys for babysitting, and Dave on Barbie Duty! I couldnt have had a better time. Thanks to everyone who came and especially those who travelled a long way to be there,like John Travis, Steve and Stace! You’re all ace. I dont know how I got to be so lucky, to have such a fine bunch around me, but I feel very thankful.

Thanks to John C for the fine photos!

Tabachi Waterfightin’ Action!


Christmas is coming, and Paige is here! We gathered around the Tabachi and feasted, and had waterfights, and laughter and good talks. We were fortunate enough to share some of this with the Hickeys, too.

The waterfight is a thorpe family tradition, christmas-wise.

Werner loaned us the wonderful Tabachi, his own invention, and it’s going to be the centerpiece of our Christmas.
