January

Buckets of rain have poured upon us. One day I went to pick up dry cleaning but was unable to get out of the car. Torrents were falling from the sky at the same time wind blew fiercely. The umbrella inverted and wouldn't revert. Stuck I remained in the car...driving home without our clothes. The earth is saturated.

Shannon and Derek have moved into a 'new home' that will be theirs for many years to come. It is large enough to house a large family comfortably. The white walls will soon become delicious colors creating, once again, the cozy home that she is so good at creating...the seaside cottage look.

Joel and Lori have returned to Utah taking with them 2 darling children who once laughed and slumbered in our home for several months. We miss them.
