HO HO HO... HA HA Happy Holidays! Keeping it brief again this year, although you can find more details in the photo captions.
A couple of highlights from our last year:
- Teresa spent more time displaying her art this year. She entered several shows over the past year and sold some of her work, making room for more.
- Andrew had a college reunion in St Louis. We reconnected with many of his friends.
- We saw Ellen for Mother's day in Atlanta.
- Andrew and Teresa had a short trip to Bentonville Ark to do some biking.
- Teresa's family reunion was in Kentucky this year in June.
- In July, Ellen made a trip out to Edwards, Colorado.
- We made our big trip this year in Oct-Nov to Thailand and Cambodia. It was an amazing trip like nothing we've done before. Temples, buddhas, food tours... we will be going back sometime. We loved it!
- We are also remodeling our kitchen at home. We have wanted to do this since we moved 18 years ago but finally are making it a reality. It's still a work in progress, because of the holidays moving a little slower than we'd like, but it will be amazing once it's done.
- We had to say goodbye to our sweet dog Max at 17 ½ years old. He was mostly blind, deaf and we felt he was ready to go too. It was hard, but it was the best decision. We are now pet free and looking into Trusted Housesitters (trustedhousesitters.com) to do some traveling and pet sitting in the future.
- Andrew continues to enjoy his work at MxV Rail and will be changing part time in the spring so he can spend more time with Teresa (who is already retired).
We hope this finds you well, and.....
May the Universe smile on all of you with Peace and Happiness!
Teresa and Andrew
What a long strange year it's been...
