Hi Debby and Merry Christmas


I've attached one of the few pictures we have of our wedding.... it was a great day for us ,starting another phase of our lives. We had a short honeymoon in Florida a couple of weeks ago. We stayed with Carol's daughter in St. Petersburg and got together with my brother who lives nearby and also had dinner with an old helicopter squadron buddy and his wife who live south of there. It was great .We took a lunch cruise on the Inland Water Way (compleat with the obligatory Margarita's) and went to an Osprey preserve on Tampa bay to see the "fish eagles", spent time on the beach, waded in the Ocean a bit (no swimming, my brother says "only Canadians swim this time of year" LOL) and took in the beautiful weather. It was 84 when we left and flew into Detroit in the middle of an ice storm, then onto Madison with a foot of new snow. It was an overwhelming shock to the system. We are having a increasingly hard time coping with the winter so we are working on an alternate plan for the years to come. All is well and I hope it is the same for everyone else. Have a wonderful holiday season.
