On the last leg of their July vacation, Jim and Linda pose along Washington's Columbia River. Exhausted, they'd done three states before lunch ... and goodness knows what else might have been done along the way. A special thanks to the stranger who took the picture ...

The Rev. Pablo officiates the wedding of Jim W. Coleman to Linda Weber at their home on January 1, 2006. It was a simple ceremony, attended by close friends: Marina, Kayla and Erica Coleman, John and Ann Taylor, Paul and Bonnie Funari (and family), Paul Zimmerman and Mena, Madeline Zimmerman, Larry Coffey and Shawn, Kimm Anderson, Brock Jackley, Wilson and Charlotte Stewart, Larry and Helen Stewart and Tony and Leanne. Hope I didn't forget anyone.
