Leilani & Phil are getting married

On Saturday 3 November 2007 Leilani & Phil are getting married. Leilani is my niece. She has had a habit of stealing my heart every time I see her.
I remember, when she was an infant in San Jose, California, Denise and I taking turns holding that beautiful little babe. She is still a "babe", but now she a professional journalist and has stolen Phil's heart. I suspect that Phil left his heart in a readily accessible place for Leilani to steal it.

Elephants in South Africa

Mother and baby elephant crossing the levi to get a drink and play in the water. A second female elephant came up and charged at the lead car in order to get it to give them room to get to the water. Then it backed itself down the waterside of the levi backwards so that she could keep an eye on us.
