2009

The boys of summer-Stuart in the middle

  This series is rapidly closing up, now we're at the years that are hard to remember, I'm a lot older than I was when we started with 1940!
  2009 was a pretty good year, Rhonda came to visit for 2 weeks in March, she was able to catch a ride as far as Sanford, she got in late at night and the lady brought her right to the motel where I was "camped out".  It was good to see Rhonda as it had been a couple of years, she is divorced now and only working part time, so things could be a lot better for her, but she is trying hard to make the adjustment.
  The winter weather has cooperated this year, in fact when Rhonda got here is March it was already warming up for most days, so she didn't freeze up here in the frozen hinterland.
  Hollie is still Hollie; it sometimes seems she hasn't changed at all, and then I realize how much she's changed, she is working hard to lose weight, and has learned how to read labels and about portion control, she could teach me a few things.
  When Rhonda came up Hollie was glad to see Sister and Jon and Darlene came up to visit for a day so we had almost everyone here, Jeff still up in the far frozen north of Alaska.

All but one present and accounted for, Jeff wasn't here



Before and after pictures of Amaroq, a lot of hair to cut!
