Hello everyone,
Its been a busy couple of weeks for Teri and I as we have been taking trips up to Santa Barbara (3 hours each way) to visit Teri's mother. We have both taken on the task of remodeling parts of her house. It's a
cute house close to the beach but as most older homes cared by someone older it lacks updating. Just last weekend we gutted the guest bathroom down to the Frame and removed everything in it. Teri cut down two trees and impressively dug out the root balls herself!
I have since replaced the dry wall and look forward to retuning this Sunday to paint, prepare for the tile floors, and begin putting a new sink together with cabinets in. It's a lot of work but very rewarding when you see how excited her mother is getting.
Tomorrow we are heading up to my parents to take part in Paola's Wedding
shower, actually I have a golf reservation with my dad and Kurt at 1:00 pm. Then we'll head to SB for the night to work on Sunday.
Wednesday we all leave for England for two weeks. Thankfully we fly out
of San Diego so that we avoid going into LAX which only consumes more time. Teri and I are looking forward to seeing everyone as well as spending time in London and Belgium for a few days. I will do my best to collect stories and photos for the newsletter.
See you all soon,
Marco

A poem by Teri Kim
The cool night air
lightly moves in
carrying the dewey ocean mist
to claim its time

The passing of calm
to receive the rays
giving way to the light
to return to its source

Continous and certain
to bring another day
celebrate today
tomorrow is here.

I just want to thank Penny and make some comments about the beautiful shower that she had for Paolita's yesterday Sat. Sept. 6, 2003. I think everybody had fun, it was a little warm, but we manage to enjoy anyway, and of course as always on the Tassara's table we had delicious food, desserts and lots of drinks.
Paolita arrived from San Diego with her future mother-in-law, Ginny DePaso, she was very nice to come all the way from Vegas and make Paola feel very happy.
Thanks to all for the beautiful presents, I am sure my daughter and Chris are very please and thankful for it. Thanks to all the helpers, and Penny thanks again.
All my love.......
