2004 Xmas break

Busy around the home front theses days. Brenda's mom Thelma flew down from Maine this week to spend Christmas in the sunny south. It may be the first time in 40 or 50 years that she has been away from Maine for this holiday. Although Bren, I and the kids have acclimated to the southern celebration of Christmas, I'm sure that Thelma is finding the experience different than she is accustomed to. Getting around and seeing the sights without worrying about ice and snow can't be all bad. Mia is home from school so we have a house full. Lots of food music and games going around.

In a very quick review of 2004:
Bren is enjoying her work at Bashaw Elementary School. It seems to me that she is in charge of goings on there. Her principal may disagree but that is my observation. I recently changed jobs and am working at Signs2Go, making signs etc. Mia is in her 2nd year at Florida Southern College. She is enjoying it there. Joining a Sorority this year, Alpha Chi Omega. Still outstanding on the flute. AJ is a junior at Lakewood Ranch HS. She loves working on the school yearbook doing the graphic layouts etc. She also is a mainstay on their golf team. We missed visiting Maine last summer and are already looking forward to visiting next summer. Once again to our northern friends, say hey if you get this way this winter, see you next summer. To our southern friends, see you soon.
Merry Christmas to all and Best Wishes for a happy and health 2005!
