DICK'S VISITORS

This morning I wasn't felling well and decided to stay home.
Well it turns out I had a pleasant surprise.
The Baer Family, Rob, Donna and 3yr old Tyler stopped by for a short visit. They were on their way to Philadelphia to take Tyler to Sesame Street Park tomorrow.
The live in Salisbury and Rob is a UPS Driver.
Donna managed Bill and My Goldfish Joint on Taylor's Amusements
way back in the early 90's, when she was still going to school.
Here's Tyler taking a ride on My Merry-Go-Round horse in the Den.Look what Uncle Dick's got for you!

Nothing greater that a boy and a toy truck!


And here's my new pet, Tequila, watching what's going on.
