Ahhh, Summer.  Here in the Central Valley we get about six months of Summer.  From May until November it&#8217;s 100 degrees every day.  Then we get about two weeks of Fall, where the temperature is in the 70s.  Then it turns cold and rains for 5 months.  When the rain stops we get about 2 weeks of Spring, with nice temperatures in the 70s again.  Then it&#8217;s back to six months of heat.  Yay California!<\/p>\n<p>So not only is it the first day of Summer, it&#8217;s also  Mon&#8217;s birthday.  And that makes it awesome.  So to celebrate Summer, and Mon&#8217;s birfday, here&#8217;s a pic of Mon with her husband, Michael, and son, Adam.<\/p>\n<p>They dress like this all the time.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michael.albersweb.com\/michael\/gallery\/albums\/april_2008\/IMG_9708.jpg\" alt=\"Mon!\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mon says that 25 is older than dirt, but 35 is older than compost.

I&#8217;ll call, maybe even write!<\/p>\n<p>And now, some pics from the good ol&#8217; days&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.teebiss.com\/photoalbums\/memories\/scan0030.jpg\" width=600 ><br \/>\nFrom left to right: Javier, me, Dave, Monica, Big Rob, Bri, and Stoney the dog<br \/>\nBig Rob&#8217;s house, circa 1990<br \/>\nNo long after this photo was taken, Bri projectile vomited in the bathtub.
