SUMMER!


This summer has so far been one to remember. 
Being with my family and friends, in Norway! Nothing is like home.
"Borte bra, men hjemme best".  
That's when I get to see Heidi,  my best friend since I was 17! It's nothing like spending some time with the person who probably knows you the best.




Today was the Dana Point Summer Concert in the park.


The 5th Marines and members of the Dana Point 5th Marine Regiment Support Group was there selling some great food and drinks to help the fighting 5th Marines. 
 
Me and Col. Willy Buhl
