Can you believe this????

I cannot believe that this motorhome was on our street. Our street is street is not designed for a motorhome of this size. It was a RENTAL!!!!

Just guess what we will be doing next Sunday!

YOU ARE RIGHT. WE LOVE TO DANCE.....

Ok!!! Welcome to the park!!

Thanks Gordon!!!

Here's Gordie clearing the way for us to walk in Golden Gate park....

Lana & Jeff! and Harry!

Here is my sister Lana (todays her birthday) husband Jeff and Harry Dog in Golden Gate park. We walked for hours. It was great.

He hardly ever asks for anything!!

It is true. He hardly ever asks for anything but he really wanted a beer sign for the wet bar on the first floor. As you can see we need to fix it up (that paneling has to go) but Gordon was so thrilled with his gift.

I told our youngest son Garrick what he wanted and from there he did the rest. He found it on Craigslist - he picked it up - brought it over to our friends Juanita and Gene's she then cleaned it and wrapped it up.

GARRICK THAT IS WHY YOU ARE SO SPECIAL TO US - YOU NEVER LET US DOWN.

She never stops!!!!

My niece Diana made so really really good cookies. All pretty and festive. They went pretty fast. Next time she comes I will NOT allow her to bring so much stuff. She loves it but she works so hard. As soon as she walks in it is right to the kitchen. I love it but I would like to see her sit and just have fun.
I love you Dee Dee and appreciate all you do for us.

Wow!!!! Weee!

These are two of our favorite people. We were so happy they could join us for the holidays. They gave us a HUGE pepper grinder and a Olive Garden gift certificate. Let's go eat??? Thanks Steven and James!

Thanks for the idea and thanks to Lauren Dee, Ashley and Tarra.

Merry Christmas from the Bornkamps! 2007

Well here we go finally my Christmas card/newsletter. The newsletter below can be printed out if you want to, you can double click on any picture to make it larger.

Because we have basically stopped traveling for awhile I don't have as many pictures as the last several years. Life is very exciting here and I love it. The house repairs are mostly done with always work to be done later. The front and backyards are a on going project. We have put that aside so we can visit with many friends and family coming to visit this holiday season.

So let me and Gordon wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Do remember that nothing is more important than family. Putting the small stuff behind take the high road and take the first step towards healing relationships.

Love, Laura

My first fruitcake!!!!!!!

My Gordie loves fruitcake so I decided it is time to get busy and make him one. I will say it is cheaper to buy it already made. But like I always say, "where's the love". Hope it turns out, he deserves a good fruit cake.

We are getting ready!

We are getting ready for the holidays.

Can't wait for our comapny to come.

STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES

Well these are not roses and they don't smell BUT aren't they pretty?

Our Christmas tree is up!

I am so sad that I left all our ornamnets in Pahrump (NV) at our lot there.
I really thought we would be in Pahrump, I NEVER HAD A CLUE WE WOULD BE HERE IN THIS HOUSE THIS CHRISTMAS. So the tree is a bit sparse but I refuse to buy more stuff.

I am getting really excited about all the company we are going to be having soon.

Dorothy and Chuck Adams are coming for a second visit. This is so cool. They are taking us to see Beach Blanket Babylon - this show has been playing here for (we think) over 30 years. It changes all the time and is a must see if you can fit it in. THANKS DOROTHY AND CHUCK!!!

Then my sister Lana and her family will be coming. As soon as I changed the sheets from Dorothy and Chuck, Lana will be here. SO AWESOME!!! I think they are staying a couple of weeks. Lana has really done her homework and she knows what see wants to see and where she wants to go. Lana will be coming with husband Jeff and daughter Mirah.

After that in January Gordon's baby sister is coming. Jeannine, she is one of my favorite people. Always happy she is delightful to be around. She loves to clean, do dishes and cook so can you come early? Jeannine will be here with another two of our favorite relatives, that is Carol and Monte, Gordon's cousins. All we know about there visit is so far they want to go to Napa to see the beautiful wine country.

Robnik's Christmas Tree Lot!

The first picture is me and Cathy.

It is a fun job.
