A dream come true...our trip to St. Louis, MO,

June 22-July 2, 2002.

 

(a photo story told in 10 pages)

 

 

Our beautiful flight to St. Louis, in only 4 hours.
(this shows flying over Washington State)

 

Not a nervous bone in their bodies!

 

 

 

 

Meeting in St. Louis! We were so excited.
(photo a little fuzzy because Dan was so happy to see us all)

Matthew making his acquaintance
 with the cats of the house!

 

 

 

 

 

On the front porch on Sidney Street.

Sweethearts for five years!
(married June 20, 1997)

 

 

 

 We had to stop by Dan's shop and take a pic
of his sign! It was 110 degrees F, with humidity.

 

 

 

 

 

Inside the front room of the shop.

Where Dan works hard all day.

 

 

 

 

 

This shot is taken from the stairway, looking down
into the living room. Matthew is sitting in Clea's
favourite chair. (Clea is the grey cat.)

Dan's 90 year old piano, purchased from eBay for
a very small amount!! It plays quite well, too, and looks
 stunning in the living room.

 

 

 

 

The dining room sideboard, with Cleo napping!
(she isn't allowed here, but doesn't know it)

Marlene washing a bowl of cherries at her lovely, remodeled
kitchen sink.

 

Enough is shown here for one page. If you'd like to see more photos
