Crash! went her computer... eventually she found us

Hi Stan,
My computer crashed last week and I lost all email addresses and all my bookmarks, so I hadn't checked in on the blog for a couple weeks. I could not remember the address for the blog (what is happening to my 59 year old memory) but today I found a blog search website where I found it listed. I was surprised to see that picture you posted. You are right - that is Gloria, Claudia and me. I am pretty sure the fourth person standing up is Theresa Wadsworth and my best guess for the person laying down would be Sandi Pennar. But to tell you the truth I have no memory of what we are doing or where we are doing it. I wonder if Sandi or Claudia would remember?
I ran out of time and did not get a Christmas letter done. Our family has had a pretty good year. Kids and grandkids are all doing fine. Gary and I celebrated our 35th anniversary by going to Hawaii (for the first time). We spent time in Honolulu and Maui and we really liked it although we only saw the sun for one day, the rest of the time it was cloudy or rainy but warm. I was really moved by Pearl Harbor.
The other big challenge has been dealing with my Dad and his health issues. He has been in the hospital five times since June. He had to move out of Windmill Ponds (assisted living) and into Knute Nelson. Sad to say that as of May 2006 he is no longer a greeter at WalMart and he really misses being there with all the people.
Dad is adjusting to the nursing home and has at least kept his sense of humor. Other than that Gary and I are both still working with no immediate plans for retirement. Merry Christmas to you and all the blog readers.
