Merry, merry Christmas!!

Lots has happened in the last two months. Shawna is buying her own house and got engaged today. She is enrolled in school to finish up her nursing and actually go farther than she had originally planned. Lee is counting the days until May 11th. He will then really "retire". Yay! Going to SD for Christmas but will celebrate with the family on New Year's Day. We did this last year and we both enjoyed it so much more. Lee's good friend's wife, Carol Garmon, is falling apart and she' my age. I think after speaking with him, he has realized we must do what we want for the rest of our lives..... We plan on traveling all summer and really only being here long enough to check on the house and do laundry if necessary. We will spend some time in Colorado with good friends, a month on the Oregon coast (which we both love) and a month in the SF Bay area as well. Lots to see and do. All the kids are well and doing fine, YES!!!! I can finally say that. Looking forward to a wonderful, peaceful and loving new year in 2011. Hugs the ones you're with and love the ones that aren't here to hug....
