Having reached that wonderous state of retirement, we now seldom do anything we don't want to do. Among the things that we do want to do are our hobbies. John has his paper models, and Marzlie has her computer controlled machine embroidery. Flying high above all of this is our kiting. We design, build and fly kites and other decorative fabric creations. We attend all the kite festivals we are able to, and have traveled the world to attend festivals in France, Australia, Holland, Denmark, both coasts of the U.S., and in Canada the west coast, the prairies and Toronto. The best part, though, is the kiting family. Somehow, unpleasant folks don't seem to be attracted to kiting, so we revel in the pleasure of hundreds of wonderful friends all over the world. http://2oldkiters.smugmug.com/Kites-and-Things/Our-Kites/JM-WSIKF-04/74683876_3vHm2-Ti.jpg http://2oldkiters.smugmug.com/Marzlies Fiber Arts/ 2009-12-25T01:42:51Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
