Its Anniversary time... its anniversary time...

YES - the time is just about here! Today is Friday and on Sunday it will be our First Anniversary!

We plan to get together with our Maid of Honor and Best Man plus their partners at the Sacramento Brewing Company at Town and Country, near the Trader Joes. They have a buffet brunch w/champagn/beer... and Karen and I have been their for dinner and it looks nice. We hope the brunch will be nice.

As for gifts.. this is yet to be known to each of us recipients. It will be reported later.

It has been QUITE THE YEAR! We have traveled a lot. We have planned a bit/lot... as we try to make our home ours. See - firesteinhouse.blogspot.com for more stuff about that project. Suffice it to say we continue to think, analyse, etc. Now we are about to look at homes to buy and replace our Breton abode. Maybe???!!!....

Traveling began with our honeymoon in Hawaii in March, 2005. During the summer we went to Monterry (great dinner on my birthday), Ashland (with my daughters), and Newport Beach. In December we traveled to Utila, Honduras where we helped with the old (Max) and new (Dylan) grandchildren and where I learned to and got certified as a scuba diver. In Februrary, 2006, we visited my daughters in NYC and also visited relatives who I had not seen for quite a while! Also saw Gail and Larry. We stayed at Susan Rosenthal's wonderful apartment in Manhattan and had dinners and visits with Steve and Suzie and their son Ben and with Flora and Liz, too.

In NYC, visiting with my Uncle Jerry and my Cousin Sheera were two special wonderful visits! Visting with Cousin Arthur was quite wonderful, too.

Helping my daughters a bit in NYC included introducing them to some of my relatives and getting Amy a nice business suit. Amy had a lot of time to spend with us. Sarah made a lot of time, too. The girls made a wonderful Shabbat/Friday night dinner for us and their place was pretty nice. They are soon to be moving again and a new place they will probably be getting sounds good and is in Manhattan where they want to be. Jobs are developing and improving. SO... things are looking up.

Karen and I continue to grow and develop and continue to love and grow our love. We have people around us who are doing well and not so well We worry and love them and support them as we are supported ourselves in our home together. We really enjoy our family and friends and community. Life is good!

Let me say again --- life is good!! THANK YOU!!!!
