The New Year is Rapidly Arriving

Yes, we managed to get ready for the big day Christmas (Jesus Birthday) and all the festivities that surround that even if we were only home in Auburn for a week.

We had dinner at our house for our childrens and families and there was 12 adults and 2 1/2 children. You are probably wondering how we have a half of a child but Kim our daughter is expecting this summer. Jerry is preparing to be a grandpa and has been practicing with my granddaughters baby. No we are not getting old with great grandchildren they are just having babies younger. haha We are only as old as we feel but that depends on the day.

Wish I had some pictures to share but of course our cameras are in our home in AZ. Kinda like we experience with tools. The special tools we need are either in Auburn or Chelan when we need them in AZ and then sometimes when we are in AZ the tools we need are in Auburn or Chelan WA. I think we better do a little inventoring this summer and make sets for each place. It takes a while to get organized into retirement mode. You that haven't arrived there yet will see when you do get to that stage of your life it is not all that easy to adjust. You that are retired will understand.

Thanks to family you will be able to see some pictures. One way is when you go into our blog to see what we are up to obviously you are there now if you are reading this. There is on the right hand side under our picture called LINKS my daughters link is Scott and Teresa click on that and you can see pictures of our Lefsa making party we had and I am sure she will have pictures of Christmas posted soon.

Our next event this week is Saturday the 29th we have 3 couples coming to our house to do a little wine tasting. Our 0ne neighbor went this summer to differant wineries so have some wine from where they visited and we have some wine from the Chelan wineries so it should be a good time figuring out which ones taste best. They probably will all taste the same after a few sips haha.

Guess I have rattled on long enough it is early in the morning so just had coffee so I am wide awake and Jerry is still sleeping like a baby resting up for the daily activities.

We hope all of you had a great Christmas Day and that the year 2008 is a great one for all our family and friends.

Greetings from Barb and Jerry
