Famous Grandma

My Grandma Frances E. Marzioli was in the the first group of Female Police Officers for the City of Memphis, Tennesee. From what my grandma said that dude in the picture was one Elvis's first body guards. I just found this out on Monday.

Memorial Day.....

Today I remember, the patriots that have given their lives for my family, my country and my freedom.

Just Working...no site seeing. Oh, and fishing!

Just working 12's since I got back from Japan. It's good to

have a good steady....set....go job.

Owen waiting for the event to start. Owen and Olivia got

new fishing poles, guess which one is Olivia's.

This is our secret spot for fishing.


It was a beautiful day. This is why people from Washington appreciate

sunny day more than everyone else.No Rain.


Shorty catching the only family fish. Owen had a bite, pole bent over, and it was gone.

This is Josh he was fishing next to us. He won his group....and had the biggest fish

of the Day. 1.91 lbs.

I also have been building this "playhouse". Check out my wife's blog for info.http://http://www.kauahifamilyinhawaii.blogspot.com/

Are you Baptised...I can help!

It was easy to keep my word.

Shorty wanted me to take her to Famous Dave's for her Birthday.

I was willing to bring this little girl's dream come true.

The kids know the deal...giant Root beer floats.

Five different Bar-B-Que sauces.(Devil's spit is the Best)

This is what Shorty wanted, trash can lid of slow cooked flesh.
Shorty's favorite is the corn and Ribs. I'm a little easier, I like it all.

Yup, hurry up with the picture, it's time to do some work.

Better than the family Dog? That's some big words, Dave.

The votes are all in: Deeeeeelicious!

All prepared for the 3 hr. train ride. I wanted to see more of Japan.

Well, last of Japan for this Trip. Plus, the train I rode starts in the town I stayed

in (Kurihama) and ends at Narita Airport.

Construction of the Temple began in 1929 by the Soto(Zen) Buddhist sect. The outline of the statue was complete by 1934 but work was suspended at the outbreak of the Pacific War. The Ofuna Kannon Society continued construction work in 1954 and the Temple was finally completed in 1960. The statue construction is that of sections of poured concrete and was performed entirely by hand. No concrete pump trucks were used. The surface of the statue is oft painted white. The statue itself contains a small museum and shrine and both are open for viewing.
The Kannon incorporates stones from ground zero of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to commemorate those who died in the explosions of the atomic bombs. A fire originating from the atomic fires of Hiroshima burns in a mushroom-formed statue.

I think they trying to tell us something.

Rice fields up near Narita Japan.

Carp for children's day.

The only way to fly. Flu free...maybe.
