In August 2000 Nancy and I hosted at BBQ at our new house so some of our friends and relatives could come over and see the place.

These are a few of the pictures that my mother-in-law Brigitte took.  If I can ever get the negatives away from her again, I will scan in a few more pictures.

John at the BBQ
Here I am cooking up Wisconsin bratwurst (soaked in beer and onions) and Costco hamburgers.

The Group in the Corner
This is over the far corner of our backyard.  This is mostly the Global Village contingent and their friends and spouses.  From the left there is Jenny Davies and little Corinne Davies, Carlos and Kristina Chavez, Jefferson Johnson, Leslie, Geoff Spaeth, Nick Chinn, and Chi and Steve Miley.

Carlos and Kristina Chavez, both of whom worked at Global Village way back in the Mountain View days when I started there.

Jefferson Johnson
Looking silly.

Kristina, Jefferson, and Nick
I've seen that look on Kristina's face at work, and generally it isn't a good thing.

Linda Vickers
Our designated cat sitter and friend.

Geoff and Leslie
They have the same sort of dry smile in this picture.
