One Year...

Hi,

I don't know who's out there, still following this blog, but I wanted to share some pictures.  Yesterday, June 13th, marked the day that Ethan died a year ago.  Of course that date seems significant because of our loss, but I also wanted to spend it in a way that seemed worthwhile of E's memory, and that brought some happiness to our family. 

So the Remmels (Kathy & Chuck), the Wangs (my parents), and Miles & I spent the early part of this week in Victoria, BC which recalled a wonderful trip that Kathy, Miles, Ethan, Eric, and I took in August 2010.  I treated my parents and Kathy & Chuck to High Tea at the Empress on Tuesday; Kathy & Chuck spent most of yesterday with Miles, as my parents went to Butchart Gardens, and I wandered the Inner Harbour.  Lovely day all around!

2012

Greetings and (Happy) Belated New Year!

Thank you to those who sent holiday greetings and cards.  I appreciate all your kind thoughts.  The month of December was a whirlwind of travel, eating, and spending time with my family.  Miles & I flew to San Francisco in mid-December to meet Chuck & Kathy, and it was a lovely trip.  We were blessed with good weather, great food and company, and a treat for Miles: "seeing a helicopter fly under the Golden Gate Bridge!" (You'll have to imagine Miles describing this.) 

January has been busy, and we're doing okay. 

Hope every one's 2012 is off to a good start.
