You all have gotten to know a bit about me, as much as most folks and more than some in any case. So here is our Christmas letter. Mike and Susan are children all others are grandkids.
Merry Christmas and may your new year be filled with LBCs or even big ones.
Christmas 2006
Well, “The Nutcracker” has come and gone and this year only Kay and Elinore attended. It was beautiful as always. Katie spent that weekend with her ROTC unit traipsing about in the woods on the Eglin reservation and sleeping in a very chilly tent. It was a stark reminder that kids grow up, and things don’t stay the same.
Speaking of that, however, Jack has spent a large part of this year restoring a 1958 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite. This will be the third Sprite for us. Our first was acquired in 1962 when we arrived in Hawaii and discovered gas was so expensive. Deja vu all over again!
In April we took a river cruise to Belgium and Holland. It was a great trip. We’ve decided it’s our favorite type of travel and plan to do more of it.
In late May, Katie, Elinore, and Andrew, Susie’s six year old, joined Kay for a week’s trip to Disney World. All went well, and Grandma has fully recovered.
Jack’s sister is getting married on December 29th in Romeo, Michigan, so we’ll be flying up there. It’ll be a wonderful family gathering, and we’re looking forward to it.
Susie and her family are still living in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and she stays busy driving Andrew to his roller hockey games and Rebecca to her pre-school and ballet classes. Mike lives just up the road in Niceville and still loves his job as a webmaster for the Air Force Weapons Center.
