June came and went, mid year came and went, 4th of July came and went, Jul birthdays for the bike buddies came and went, and the Fernandez descendant family grew.

On Jun 20th, Faith Dorothy Curtis was born to RoseAnn Barnes (daughter of sis Dorothy) and Tony Curtis. I now have 19 grand nephews and nieces. Above right, is Alice Chegwidden participating in the 4th of Jul block parade. And on the right are the Jul birthday girls, Vickie and Sandra.

Managed to internet video chat with sis Dorothy, bro Jacques, bro Gerardus, and niece RoseAnn at different times. We use the free Skype application for free internet video chats. It works great if you have a good cam, and relatively fast internet connection. You can also do free conference chats with several people; however, can only do voice chats in conference mode.
