Connecticut Mission of Mercy

Bruce and I spent the day Saturday in New Haven doing volunteer dentistry.

We had to be there at 4:00am, and the line of people waiting to get in was already across the front and down the side of this building.

We volunteers were fed well all day.

This is all the portable dental equipment....

Here is where patients had xrays...

We had tubs of instruments to pick from...

Here is a photo of the restorative and the hygiene sections

Bruce chose to do surgery.. we pulled teeth all day.

Check out the size of this guys arms.... Bruce was extra careful not to hurt him!

I took this picture shortly after lunch. I think the grand total was almost 2000.

This dental equipment travels all over this country.

Packing up to go home....

I have a new camera!!!!

Jake absolutely HATES rainy days......

He has much too much energy to spend the day in the house..so he finds ways to get into mischief.

While Hortense has no problem finding the most comfortable place to settle down for her day-long nap.

Last night we were invited to watch the sunset over the bay.

This house was high up in the hills, and the view was amazing!!

We finally were able to get a picture of the four of us together.

We visited Robert at Pixar today!!

This was the badge I had to wear to walk around the studio.

We spent Friday in Santa Cruz and walking on this beach.

On vacation in Berkeley!!!!!

 Frances's and Robert's kitchen.....

We spent the first full day walking thru Golden Gate Park...

..and up Haight/Ashbury  Street.

And as Peter observed:  "The spirit is still alive here!!"

The next day we drove to Santa Cruz..... and found this beach.

It certainly didn't seem like spring today because it was so cold, but here is a picture of the first flower in my garden for this year

Maybe there is hope for warmer weather!!

Carol, David, Peter and I visited Pat and Tom in Rockport this weekend. It was windy, but it was a beautiful day!
