I'm here!!

Thanks Debi for organizing & creating this blog. I hope everyone will join & contribute regularly. It will take a little effort to get in the habit, but it will be really fun.

Today I go with Skyler to the Newport Beach temple for its open house. There will be tons of people there, and there are no more tickets available. Undoubtedly there will be some anti-Mormon people there, so it will be interesting to see what they will be saying or doing.

Two movie stars rented a motor hoem from us yesterday.... Richard Roundtree (the original "Shaft"), and John Ratzenberger (Cliff, the know-it-all mailman, from Cheers). Both very nice men.

Love you all,
Martin

It was Martin's Idea

Welcome! Martin thought everyone might enjoy using an extended family blog. We Onkens have one just for us and it can be a fun way to keep in touch. I've sent invitations to most everyone although I'm lacking an email address for Liz and for Abbie and Cameron. Please let me know who is missing from the list and I will add them.

Liz and Joe: I just happened to have this great photo of mom and the 4 of us "wiser" siblings . . . as soon as I can locate something more suitable and all inclusive, I'll change it. If one of you has a good photo idea, let's have it.

It's easy to upload photos to the blog using services like Hello and Flickr. Ask me if you want more info. If you have fun links you want to see on our blog, let me know. I'm still trying to change the look of the page so send me anything you think should be here.

Let's hear from everyone!
