How could we finish out 2009 without an update after keeping you all in suspense for more than a month? Well, with much trial and tribulation (and $$$) we got through our rough patch and all appliances/vehicles are operating normal again. The temperatures outside have moderated and snow is once again falling on Central Oregon. So what is keeping us up these long winter nights? The joyful noise of children playing with their new toys and the rising stock market? No, I'd say it's more of concern about the year ahead and what waits for us to discover and hopefully enjoy in what it brings to us. We hope to take trips to Montana and perhaps back east to NY next summer. We hope to improve our lawn and our financial position (don't all Americans desire this?). We hope to learn new skills and continue to give back to our community. We hope to see our children continue to grow and become responsible people. We hope to see friends and family from all parts of our lives come calling for happy reasons. And we wish everyone well even if they can't ;)
So, to wrap this up, Happppppy New Year's Eve's Eve's Eve -- we've been thinking about you all. DJDMB&P
