"Just who are we?"

Well, we met on the Saturday after Thanksgiving back in 1989.  We bought and moved into our house in the Spring of 1991, and after 17 years here, we still enjoy our neighborhood of unique-styled homes from the 1920's.  A block away is a parkway beside a meandering creek, which leads to lakes in either direction.

We enjoy vacation travel.  In March 2006, we went to the Sonoma and Napa valleys, San Francisco, Monterey and Pebble Beach in northern California.  We also drove inland to Modesto to visit Tom's niece and her husband.

In March,2007, we visited the Los Angeles area to see the Getty Center, Petersen Automotive Museum, Huntington Gardens and Museum, Santa Barbara, and Universal Studios.  We also watched a taping of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Last August, we visited Tom's brother, Jim and sister-in-law, Barb, in Door County, Wisconsin.    Tom's other siblings--Paul and Nancy and their spouses rounded out the weekend reunion of reminiscing, shopping, exploring and enjoying food and drink.

Just recently, in February and March, 2008, we spent several days in Orlando and five days in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area.  In Clearwater Beach, we took a dolphin cruise on the Sea Screamer.  In St. Petersburg, we toured the Salvador Dali Museum and attended a Minnesota Twins spring training game vs. the Tampa Bay Rays.

Attending plays, musical concerts, Twins baseball, and movies are just some of our regular endeavors.  Recumbent bike rides, cross-country skiing, and long walks with Brady are some of our physical activities.

Though we are both introverts, we do complement each other well.  Having taken the Meyers-Briggs personality inventory assessment twice, Tom is clearly an "INFJ" and Mark is an " INTP".  In summary, Tom likes to plan ahead and have decisions completed, whereas Mark is more of a "play it by ear" type of guy.

We'd certainly like to hear from you after you visit our website.  E-mail us at: [email protected] with your questions and comments.
