Wow!! Here it is Xmas 2024 and it seems like we just finished Xmas 2023. Time really seems to pass more quickly as we get older.
Jeanne and I are fine. No health issues and happy being able to see our family frequently. Thankfully, the rest of our family are fine too.
Had 2 major events this year. One of which was our Grandaughter, Kendal, becoming offically engaged right out on our Lanai/Patio. We were having a family gathering so there were 11 of us at the event. Her boyfriend, James, had stashed an engagement ring in one of our flower pots, edged her over to it and popped the question. He then reached down, pulled out the ring and slid it on her finger. A light drizzel occured at that time which, as most of you know, is considered a blessing in Hawaii, which is were they plan to be married. The other event was our meeting Grandson, Justin's bride, Naomi. They were visiting here here from Kauai. She is expecting to give birth to a daughter in January, 2025. Now for a few photos:
On the lanai just after popping the question.
Now she gets to show off the ring!
All 11 of us. Unfortunately Kasha's (on Christies right)
husband had "the duty" that day. He is in the Navy.
And finally the proud Grandparents with the betrothed.
Wishing you all a Very Merry Xmas and a Happy, Prosperous New Year.
