Us in San Francisco
(note hippie tie dye theme)

These are SunaSAK's pictures of all the fun we had in San Francisco. Yep, they resemble everyone else's, but that is the best I can do!

Bead Sorting Fest and In-Room Activities
Barbara and the very real Paulette prepare for the bead exchange	Lizz, Patty and NJ concentrate on bead sorting	Lizz and Nancy Jo contemplating the task at hand
We took a LOT of photos	Susan takes a bead-counting break	Vicki was hiding, but HA, I found her.
Robin models the features of her new dress	Katy Smith and Sandee joined us one night in my room (here seen with Robin actually wearing her dress normally)	NJ and Juana attempt to look "relaxed" but look more "wired"
Bev V, Brabara, Bev, Patty and Hannah act happy, 'cause they are	Hannah and Bev in social mode	The view out NJ's and my room window
The Infamous Tattoo Night
Gathered at the lovely sports bar preparing for the tattoo adventure	We looked equally cute from the other direction	Closer up, you can tell Robin is ready for fun
"Exactly WHAT is in a Long Island Ice Tea again?" queries Lizz	Ahem, why didn't anyone get THIS tattoo? (This is to make up for me not having ANY shots of the actual event, having left my camera)	This is the one I have finally decided on
Tech Room Thrills
SAK and Di look smug because the computer viruses have not been discovered yet.	My brother, Maury came to visit on set-up day. He's the one with the hair.	Proof I went outside that first day--bought nice smelly flowers
What could be more of a Tech Room thrill than LaJuana Oswalt's leg, in FISHNET stockings???	Manly, yes...no, not Manley, it's Dave in that weird shirt cursing his hard drive that didn't work	Aenea entertains a charming baby by blowing bubbles
Katy thrilled the Tech Room kids by making "snow" for them, which promptly got all over the hotel carpet. Oops.	I know this is on the LLLI site, too, but I love this photo of Aenea and her beaux, the West brothers	The other West brother and his mother
With the Japanese Help Form coordinators, Chika and Naomi
Random Conference Images
Diana resorts to prayer to get through our Japanese dinner--others here are Brad, Carla Nelson, Barbara Mullins, Barbara, Paulette and those West boys	Are we happier now?	Not only is she real, Paulette shopped at the conference bookstore
So this is the only photo I got of Becky Hugh (with daughter). Nice mural, though.	Us in the lobby: Barbara, Vicki and Calumm, SAK, Laura, Hannah, Bev J, Don Buckley, Sandy and Susan hiding behind Sandy	Lookie who I found right as she was checking in--it's Sandeeeeee
Help Form Award and Lunch
The Help Form Volunteer table. From far left, clockwise: Sandy T and Aenea, SAK with Carol Kolar lurking behind her, Sandeeee, Ruthie S, Bev V, Brandel with hidden infant, Y, Diana and Quinn, Leah W and Cynthia P	Cynthia Payne serves us beverages at the luncheon after the Help Form award	Cynthia continues to serve as our gracious hostess
Sandee and SAK pose with Japanese Help Form volunteers	Suna's brief moment of glory	This was the nicest photo of the Help Form Volunteers I could find in Dave's stuff
Banquet, Mostly
Di, Suna and Vicki, Banquet. We look nice. Vicki's dress is purple, folks.	Diana and Barbara H looking their spiffiest at the Banquet--hey Diana, is that a wig?	Bev V, Hannah, and Bev J at the Banquet
Juana decided to wear her giraffe ears and horns to accentuate her ensemble	Sucking up to the boss...no, really enjoying time with fellow Texas Leader Marcia Lutostanski	Sandy, Don and Susan in their finery
This one had to go in, to see if we look as manic as we did in our banquet photo in 2001. Yep, we're manic.	What is it with these two and wine? They need to go on a winery tour or something (this one is from the Board reception).
Suna Vacations with the Arendts OR What Was She THINKING???
My kind hosts on Vacation Day 1, pretending they live here in the most expensive section of this most expensive city (that's David, Maria, Amanda and Joey)	Robin was our other traveling companion on the Muir Woods trip. We oohed and ahhed a lot.	So what if I am slanted? I am on a hill!!!
View of Mission Hills (or wherever we were) with no extraneous people	Hey, I think I took a darned good Golden Gate photo	Make that two darned good photos.
The bay, next to the Golden Gate Bridge. My, how shiny	Redwoods in Muir Woods. They are tall.	You can't see the forest for the trees.
Hello, Bambi! This deer was not frightened even of babbling Japanese tourists	Deer attempts to blend in with foliage and escape babbling tourists	It's a cute li'l chipmunk. Robin and I loved the chipmunk.
One big redwood stump.	It's a tree.I like them. So I have lots of tree pix.	That dappled sunlight in on the stream bed thing. Oooh, aaah.
Maria and the kids scurry to keep up with Dad in Sausalito--I ran ahead, trying to burn off the pizza I ate	This Amanda is one lovely child, no doubt about it--amazing what you can do in spite of your genetic heritage!	This is where they send the non-attachment parents, Alcatraz. Dave and I wanted to swin TO there at one point. But he was cold.
Amanda checks out the historically interesting boats at Fisherman's Wharf, as the rest of us freeze certain parts off beyond camera range	My, what muscle tone, Herc.	Yes, I am the fox of the sea, matey, if he's Hercules.
Proof we really stooped to eating at Bubba Gump's Shrimp Emporium--just before Dave nearly chokes to DEATH on his non fish BURGER (er,,,tomato)	It was at this point I wished I remembered how to record sounds on the camera. But, just imagine, "Orp, orp!"	They were cute, but somewhat stinky
I was told to get a photo of the "breastfeeding" mermaid statue in Ghirardeli Square, so here it is.	Vacation Day 2, the first winery we visited	I can't hear anything through this grapevine--guess that song was wrong.
Vines at the second winery, the organic one	Not just grapes, organic grapes!	Well, I thought I had more photos, but I seem to have messed up. Will see what I find!
