It is New Years Day and we are waiting for friends to come visit for dinner. Dick and Ann Roberts, Larry and Pauleen Rittenhouse and Lois Lovo. We have prepared a sumtuous feast; I personally put the extra leaf in the dining room table and Dana did some stuff in the kitchen while I napped after such exertions.
2008 was brilliant with:
1. a great vacation in Spain that Michael shared with us; we also took in the north west bit of Africa in Morocco.
2. a great vacation visit here from Skye and Chase including orcas and vampires.
3. we are both well and happy together.
2009 will be brilliant if it just measures up to 2008.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU.

Remembrance Day 2008
It is a rainy day in Victoria. But you probably guessed that since it's November. We stood at the cenotaph yesterday with the biggest crowd ever; young people now seem to be bringing their little children. When one is fretful the seniors all get concerned and considerate. Its a good sign on this day; maybe its about freedom and thankfulness?
Our friends' boy, who seems to have been a toddler last Tuesday was marching with the Scottish regiment playing the bagpipes, red faced and tallest in the regimental band. Where did the years go?
RAF Squadron Leader Jack Lane, my uncle, died this year and left us as the older generation. Where did the time go?
