Happy New Year

As 2005 comes to a close we want to wish all of our friends the best of everything and a wonderful 2006. As 2005 clicks to an end we are very happy in our new home and the surrounding area. We love the "country living" and "back road" traveling. We still have a few things we want to do for the house but I guess it will always be a work in progress.

If you are in the area we will be dissapointed if you don't look us up. Just give a call and we will supply the directions. I will also post some recent pictures of a couple of our favorite things. One is of Cole and I on the "boat ride," one of David and Cole, and the other is a sunset from this week. We have been enjoying our proximity to David and his family. It is sure enjoyable to see them on a more frequent basis even though we miss our family back in Las Vegas. The temps are staying warm, high of 73 today, but we know the cold is on the way. We are traveling for a few weeks, the middle of January and the first part of February, but will be home for a while after that. We will head to St. Louis the middle of May or so to see our new grandchild that is now expected on May 22nd. We aren't sure about our summer plans but we hope to be in a cool locale by late June. Well I am going to go fishing for a while so that is all for now. May 2006 bring health and happiness to you and yours.
