We hope you've had a very good year! Our year was filled with house building for the most part. We're trying to extricate ourselves financially from the inn, but have a lovely new house to live in. Last winter was brutal, but we're warm and cozy now! I fulfilled my promise to myself by getting an orange Maine Coon kitten (Pumpkin)- still full of the devil but also very lovable.

Our only travel was to see Dick's daughter, Cindy, in San Francisco where she is the global hiring person for Tesla Motors. It was great seeing her and Chris, driving in her Tesla and getting a tour of the plant.

Heather is presently back with us as she decides what her next step is. Christy continues as a therapist and Rob with the NH Dept. of Natural Resources. Liam is in first grade and reading Harry Potter books and Gracie is in gynmastics and dance.

We're still spending part of the year enjoying North Carolina and life is good. Hope 2016 is very good to you! Sandy and Dick
