This will make me a criminal...

Mr. Higgins and Toby

We're getting along quite well, actually.

Mr. Higgins has finally conceded... the backyard belongs to both of us...

Cute overload...

Huge paws! I wonder if this is an indication of how big Toby will be...

Right now, his feet are bigger than those of Mr. Higgins.

This video was taken inside Congress. IT WAS TAKEN OFF THE VIDEO TAPES OF THE FLOOR OF OUR NATIONAL LEGISLATURE. Watch it and see what our government doesn't want us to hear...

New York, New York

Terry and Phyllis, neighbors from years ago, came to visit our family last weekend! They drove, yes drove, from northern Illinois, right through New York City and to our house on Long Island! They are - officially - the bravest mid-westerners I know. Here they are - looks like their train to Penn Station is just arriving...

We took them to see the Statue of Liberty, the NBC Building, Rockefeller Center, and Times Square-

We even came across a movie that was being filmed!

Our friends at the Empire State Building.

So sad to see them go, but are thankful for the memories!

Meet the brothers...

My whole family with my two brothers... Dan (on the far left) was making everyone laugh! My brother Mark is third from the right...

All the Engesetter brothers. I love this picture!

Abbey with her two brothers and my brother, Mark.

Randy and his big brother, Gary.

My son Neal and my brother, Dan. Look at those dimples, will 'ya? It's in the genes...

For the record, I have seven brothers and Randy has four - I have no sisters and neither does Randy.
