Looking ahead

May every member of our family enjoy a safe and fun New Year's holiday and may 2006 be a year marked by peace and joy.

This photo of young James the First (first great grand child) was taken by his mother and sent to me via email. He is indeed a beautiful child.....but then aren't they all?

Each family has reported having a fine Christmas. Santa must have risked a hernia judging by the number of computers he delivered around the country, but then a computer is as vital to this generationn as a Big Chief Tablet and a cedar pencil was to mine.

Shannon's birthday on December 31st ends the year and Kevin's and Scotty's birthdays on January 1st begin the new one. Let's hope that 2006 brings good health to each of us and peace to those shattered parts of the world that need it so badly.

So here's to a Happy New Year and a blessed and joyful 2006 to the whole family!
