In Loving Memory


I've been wanting to post this for a while, but my emotions have been just to close to the edge. While we were on vacation Dana's Mom passed away. On friday we put her in her final resting place with Dana's Dad, at Fort Roscrans. I could not have had a better Mother-in-law. I've known her since I was 16 years old and we really had the most special relationship. Ruth was always so good to me and the best Nonnie to my girls. I love her and will always miss her. The picture was taken of Dana's parents in about 1944, it is one of my favorites. They were such a beautiful couple. Rest in Peace. Neal Beecher Baltzer 11/25/1918 -- 3/13/1994 Ruth Jane Baltzer 1/13/1921 -- 1/4/2009

Maui Part II

Our trip to Maui was so great. Dana had fun getting lots of autographs of the golfers-Anthony Kim, Camilo Villegas, Ernie Els, Daniel Chopra, Geoff Ogilvy(the winner) and K.J. Choi to name a few. Amazingly he also scored autographs from Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell and chatted it up poolside with Michael Bolton. And yes, we saw Kate Hudson with Adam Scott that made the news and tabloids. The Paparazzi must hide everywhere or someone had a good phone camera. We decided to be polite not take photos of them and let them enjoy their vacation in privacy. Sage and I sat at the pool right beside Kate Hudson and her son Ryder, she was with Geoff Ogilvy's wife. Michael Bolton sat behind us at the pool a couple of times, he is very nice. It is fun to see the celebs at Kapalua because they are usually pretty relaxed and the people just let them enjoy their vacation. FYI my observation is this--they don't eat much-or when they eat its room service, they must wear SPF 50 because they never looked tan even after being there for a week, they really dress down--very little bling, bling. Our last morning in Maui!
