(December 25th, 2019) After sad news about Aunt Pat, life has to go on and especially for the grandkids, nieces and nephews. Santa seemed ready to fulfill all the dreams the young'ins had. We enjoyed a Christmas Eve party at the Valices, opening presents there in the morning, then off to Sean and Mariahs for more openings followed by a relaxing evening at Scot and Anns with family and friends.

(December 20th, 2019) We just heard some sad news that Aunt Pat Dooley passed away yesterday at her home in Warwick RI. Again, the part of life that sucks. Luckily we were able to spend some time with her and Uncle Bill in May this year. Our thoughts and prayers with all. Click on photo for larger images.

(December 20th, 2019) The tree that has been hovering over Mom's house for the last 50 years is finally coming down! Check out October 2019 to see the damage one of it's massive limbs did when it broke off in a storm. It was amazing watching them take it down from the top with chain saws and ropes.

(December 8th, 2019) Mike and Annie took their maiden voyage in their new Winnebago Aspect motorhome. We spent a few days at Jackson Rancheria which has a beautiful RV park and nice casino. We then headed back to Newcastle for Scot's birthday and the following day went over to the Valice house to check on remodel progress! Click on photo for more pics.
