Goodbye 2009

Looking back, we enjoyed good health. Debby had just retired as the year began, so we have been accustoming to living in the same space all day. Kermit passed away, severing our last commitment to Southern Cal. We sold our house in Santa Ana, bought a house near Seattle and then moved.  Owen helped us with the move and drove up with us. We bought some new furniture and made some upgrades to our new abode. We cashed out some investments and paid cash for our house, becoming debt-free for the first time in our adult lives. I took three lessons each in ice skating and Tai Chi. We are learning a lot about rain and big trees. Two of our previously childless offspring surprised us with news of their being in a family way.

Years like this are guaranteed to keep us young. But perhaps 2010 will be a slower year where we consolidate our gains, establish ourselves in our new environment, and get acquainted with two new grandbabes.

2010 2010 2010 2010 2010 2010 2010 2010 2010 2010 2010 2010

I think I've got the hang of it. Great number. 2020 will be even better.

Happy New Year all!
