90th Birthday

“Now here’s the seed and you put them in just like this”.

It’s sooooo big!

Felix helped Stacy and family grow a winter garden in their back yard in Tucson. Everyone got into the act. The pumpkins vine took over but they ripened much too early for Halloween.

Now that’s some garden!

2000 The Pier

90th Birthday

If the catch is too small, he may feed It to his favorite cat.

Wesley & Kailey fishing on the pier..

Patty McClaflin came to visit.

•One of the best additions made to the Ranch was the Pier. It is located right off of the patio in front of the trailer. Felix has caught many a fish there. All he has to do is set his poles and go back and pull them in. If he is lucky.
