Aunt Patsy

So grateful to have Aunt Patsy in our lives.  She has been around our entire lives and has never missed a birthday.  In an age where many have moved to the digital realm, Aunt Patsy continues with her hand-written cards and letters. 

Aunt Patsy knows all.  She is the information hub for Dad's side of the family and we love her for that.  I'm sure I haven't told her enough how much we love and appreciate her, but we do.

July 4th

Nothing much was planned for the 4th this year so we spontaneously decided to go to the pool and then had a BBQ at our house.

After-Christmas Shopping

Always enjoy my after Christmas shopping and movie with my friend Judith.  We buy each other a Hannakuh and Christmas gift, get our yearly calendars, search for bargins, have lunch and grab a movie. I've lost track how many years we have been doing it, but I hope the tradition continues.

Archer Christmas

There aren't a lot of Christmas pictures this year as Tracie requested we not take them  It was a hard Christmas for her and her family. Late last night they came home to a sick dog.  They ended up in the emergency room and sadly had to put her favorite dog down.  With no sleep and lots of tears they made it over to Grammy's and we made the best of the day.  It is always hard to lose a pet and this was unexpected.  I felt horrible, but I was glad we were all together.  We missed having Caroline and Mark there as they spent Christmas in Scotland and we missed Kevin's crew, but hope they will all be there next year.
