We're Decking New Halls
Dear Friends and Family,
Never been a
big fan of the end of the year letter but as most of you know this has been a
cray cray year for us and I want to bring you up to date……and let you know
we're all fine
Willi's and
my divorce was final in February
and I moved to New Mexico in March
William had a stroke in April and I came back to Florida
(note - he is
very good now)
and again in
June for the girls' dance recital
it was Emily's first year on toe
she rocked it...
and Lucy's first year in Ballet
she's a natural
they were adorable as you can see
we are so proud of
them!
William drove
back to New Mexico with me after the recital, and stayed a month - he liked
it. He went back to Florida, sold his
house and moved his stuff to New Mexico.
The kids came out in July, Arlo and
Lucy had never seen mountains
and so many rocks!
in September
Willi bought us a wonderful house that suited both of us better than my house
in Ojo Caliente did
the new house is in El Rito, a small town up against
the mountains of the Carson National Forest off the main roads of Ojo and Abiquiu
our sweet ranch in the shadow of Cerro Pedernal
a sacred mountain of the ancients
quiet and peaceful, it's a small wonderfully friendly community
we moved in October, the Ojo house is for sale
the new house
is awesome -
it has 3 sunrooms to the south and south west
since the sun is almost always shinning in New Mexico
they heat up the house!
and we have petunias blooming in December....
adobe houses stay really warm too
it is 18 degrees out right now at 3 am
and 65 in the house
and the fire has been out for hours......
we think we found that place we can stay for a
while….
(you laugh)
one of the sweetest
things to happen this year
is our new grandbaby on the Michel side of the
family!
Quinn-Cameron Jr. was born
November 30th!
we can't wait to meet him!
good job Sadie and Quinn!
the best of
Holidays and the happiest of New Year's from our family to yours
xxoo
