Happy New Year

Welcome to 2009. It started with a bang in Evanston. Thousands of crazy Evanstonians gathered together at Depot Square for the New Years fireworks. (You expected something else in Evanston.) Really there were a couple of thousands of people gathered together to watch the spectacular display braving the cold. It was very exciting. The music playing in the background was fun to listen to, as well.
The Evanston Turners had a great Christmas thanks to the generousity of family members. The digital photo albums are fun to watch and remind us of fun times from the past. The camping ice cream maker will be used when we get out in the wild; Dad will make use of the ladder, which matches last years ladder, alot; and the new fleece jacket will keep me warm, but not too warm. Its perfect for a jaunt to Ogden when it's too warm for a heavy coat. Thanks to all.
It appears the grandkids had a wonderful Christmas. Nate did too. He got the cell phone he wanted, a weight bench, and lots of shirts for the cold Evanston climate.
We also got a "Wii" and that has taken up a lot of free time. Bowling is definitely the most used game,but I am trying to learn golf, tennis, and baseball.
All in all it was a most fun time.
Roy is finishing up the computer room. We are going to pick up flooring sometime today and I will get to painting later. Blues for this room, but that might change when I get the paint on the wall.
Roy flies out on Sunday.
Enjoy the remainder of the Holidays.
