And he didn’t want to take any pictures.

Posted on Sep 7, 2013 in Family

Ryan wasn’t feeling so good.  But his mom convinced him he should.  She said, and I quote, “he will make you look like a rockstar” which was very kind.

Sometimes I sit and wonder to myself, how is that I am able to get people to do almost anything in pictures.  Take for example Ryan here.  He was completely hung over.  Yet somehow he was convinced that putting on a ladies hat, his mom’s frilly jacket and a pair of size 7 woman’s boots was actually a good idea and would make a great picture.

Actually I think it did.  Thank you Nash – Mr Ryan Nash.  You do look like a fabulous rock star here.

You Put Me In Chinese Pajamas Sir.

Posted on Aug 28, 2013 in Family

So Tu came back bearing gifts for the kiddy kiddies from Vietnam.  She assembled matching Chinese Style Pajamas for the Fendley Boys.  Red and White fancily designed Chinese Pajamas.

Pursuant to receiving said chinese style pajamas they were asked to wear those pajamas and photo opportunities ensued as per requested by their Grandmother – one Mary McKenna. Say’s she, “Frank, please get your camera and take pictures of those boys in their Chinese Pajamas.

Well sure enough, pictures were taken.  Laughs were had and as always, cuteness became the general theme.  You put me in Chinese Pajamas sir, the boys said under their breath as they proceeded to Karate Chop the hell out of each other.

You’ll Never Guess Who I am

Posted on Aug 26, 2013 in Family

That’s what she said when she put the hat on that I gave her.  She repeated it, “You’ll never know who I am when I wear this hat”, as she pulled the hat down over her eyes.

She is my Aunt Ann and after living on the streets of New York for the past 50 years she is staying in San Diego with my dad for awhile.  You know you have to be pretty creative, resourceful and smart to live on the streets of New York as a Bag Lady for 50 years and still survive.  I am not sure that many people have done that but Ann did.

The stories that Ann could tell if she wanted to.  I am sure that she has seen a lot on those streets, but she never really tells the story.

I took this picture of her tonight, I think it shows her personality.

I’m sitting on this bed. I’m sitting here wondering what to pack.  I will need a bathing suit and my iPad, and that’s all

Sincerely,
