If you haven't tried Doug's "Sausage & Peppers" casserole, it's not too late. 2012 saw Shawn & Annette move, as well as Pops & Mimi. The Costa's, well, they brought the entire family west. Sam & Rebecca gained a new home and a new foster son, Nolan. Kelly & Steve moved a little closer to Erin. Oh, Josie got the urge (to move), but wiser heads prevailed. Julie & Erin lost pounds running a few 10k's while helping "The Kids". We lost James Jay DeLaney and Virginia Shaw, but gained a Shaw Michael and a Peter Nolan. Speaking of gaining ........ we've got a Sarah, an Amy, a dog named "Chili" as well a Molly (Peter Thomsen's) bride. Wedding set for January 5th. Half Dome never looked better, Maria found her "Room with a View", Raphy experienced the love of our Lord for the first time, and uncle Jimmy made the catch of a life-time .... with a beer in one hand! We discovered it's not too good of an idea to paint in the sun (bending over) with hip-huggers. We also found out how the 1% shops for a desk, and relaxing at Aurberge Du Soleil. Caleb found Pine Valley shivering at 32 degrees, while the "Windy City" baked at 82 during his Christmas vacation. "Club Williams" is alive and well, as is 1475 Calle Marcos. Oh, and "587" is being restored to it's proper condition. Shannon turned "50", yes, fifty! Erin "60". Aaron "40" with a celebration at Haggo's. Carl & Madge hit number 62 ........ Mag's & Jill 25. We found that Angela is a snake charmer, Josh loves Paris in the springtime, Mag's loves the emerald isle more and more with every visit. Good luck to Will and Jason, Michael with GP Sports, Doug with Laguna Beach Tote CO, Tout Sweet, and our two winemakers, Robby Williams and Mike Sanders. Ms. Regan met Mr. Turk, Megan a hidden tattoo, and Matthew, a big "Surprise".
Keep Michelle & Dick in your prayers
for a full recovery.
All have many things to be thankful for this past year. May God continue to bless our entire family.
