2012 REVIEW

2012 WILL BE THE YEAR THAT AMY AND PAUL WILL REMEMBER LOSING BOTH THEIR GRANDMOTHERS. GRANDMA RECHSTEINER WAS 84, AND MAGA LOONEY WAS 86. BOTH LADIES LIVED FULL LIVES AND BOTH WERE BLESSED IN A DEATH THAT ENDED THEIR SUFFERING. AMEN.

THE HAPPY CAMPERS SURVIVED ANOTHER TOO HOT SUMMER ON THE LOWER DESERT, AND WE HAVE MADE PROGRESS ON ENDING THAT TORTURE WITH A PARK MODEL PURCHASE IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS OF EASTERN ARIZONA.

MARY’S BATTLE WITH WEIGHT LOSS WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH THE LOSS OF 25 POUNDS.

REX IS FINALLY UP OFF HIS ASS, WITH A NEW HOBBY OF SCOOTER RIDING.

WE GOT TO SEE MY THREE GRANDSONS THREE TIMES. ONCE AT SPRING BREAK IN LAUGHLIN, AND AGAIN IN THE FALL AT THE ALBUQUERQUE BALLON FESTIVAL, AND A SHORT CAMPING TRIP ON “THE MOUNTAIN”.

AMY AND I GOT TO SPEND A WEEK ON A ROADTRIP IN WISCONSIN WITH THE OD’S CADILLAC.

WE HAD COMPANY FROM HOME WHEN MIKEY MADE HIS FIRST TRIP TO NEVADA, AND HEATHER CAME TO SPEND A WEEK IN THE SUMMER HEAT.

MARY AND I SPENT TWO WEEKS OF VACATION ON “THE MOUNTAIN”, AND ALREADY HAVE A MONTH PLANNED THERE NEXT SUMMER.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE !!!!
