January began with birthday celebrations for Jessie (on the 2nd), Jeff (on the 9th) and Elaina (on the 11th)!
The month ended with a much needed two week cruise thru the Panama Canal. The weather was beautiful (warm) and the fellowship with 41 friends from church was a blessing. I'll try to post some pictures...

Taking Mom Fishing

Two sisters and a brother (Kay and Linda and Jerry) took their mother back to her childhood home (Piedmont) for an afternoon of fishing. They were joined by her sister Rose, Uncle Tommy and brothers new fiancee, Judy.

They fished, put flowers on loved ones at the cemetery BBQ'ed, enjoyed the day on Clearwater Lake, and returned home to enjoy some fish fillets.
