We hope this finds you and your families well during the many holidays this time of year. This has been another challenging year that began with the passing of my older sister, Shirley. She was surrounded with her loving family in her final days. She had a good and full life. Lynn is now in hospice at home suffering from advanced dementia. At the same time, I have experienced heart trouble and underwent triple bypass heart surgery. I am now doing well in recovery. As can be expected, we had no new travel adventures this year. The photo above is from happier times. During all this, we both have wonderful families that keep us going. Lynn is fortunate to have her family living close by. My son and his family are in Folsom, California and they come to visit me occasionally. Lynn and I have missed getting to be with our RV club "family." They are a wonderful group of people. Lynn’s son, Mark, and daughter, Carol, are now serving as caregivers
for their mother along with our two great caregivers from Tonga, Tiola and Nane.
They have become like part of the family. I have given up my duties as care giver
while I recover from surgery. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Holidays to all
