Our youngest has returned home for the Christmas Holiday from California, and we are all so very excited about that. We didn't think he would be able to be home this year, but, as luck would have it, he is here. Not only is he here, he is also working for his oldest brother at Enzymatics, doing a few marketing projects. We are hoping that things go so well that he will be retained as their (Enzymatics) west coast sales rep.
The weather here in New England has been quite nasty of late. For those who are unaware, there was a major ice storm last week, which left hundreds of thousands of New Englanders without power, and, therefore, without heat! Fortunately, those of us who live on the coast were not affected. Our weather consisted mainly of rain with moderate temperatures. By the time the mercury fell to bone-chilling cold, we were dry, so, no ice! The best news came today, with temperatures nearing 60 degrees in most areas. This will prove to be a boon to those who lost their heat and electricity.
In other news, I received the following pictures from cousin Lol, which she received from her daughter, Sandy, in California. Seems they went on a fishing trip this past weekend on the Sacramento River and Sandy had quite a "catch".
Imagine cleaning and fileting that "puppy"! Nice job, Sandy! Must have been quite a battle landing that beauty. You'll have to promise that, if we come back out to California in the not-to-distant future, you'll take us on a fishing trip. We LOVE fresh salmon!Things are progressing rapidly for Chris and Jen. They put in an offer on the Ipswich house last week, and had the home inspection last Saturday afternoon, which went very well. We are in the process of getting our house "ready for market", which we will do right after the first of the year. We are rearranging rooms and furniture to make it show better. We spent most of yesterday packing and moving Aaron's toys into the basement. Jen had to make space in the basement in order to move the toys down. Today, we moved the couch and chairs into the living room. Tomorrow, we will move the table back into the dining room, along with a few other pieces.
That's all I have for today. It's been a succession of "slow news days" since my last post, but I will try to do more over the next couple of weeks, before we head south once again.

No posts in 3 weeks??? You know what they say, though...like father, like son.
I'm looking to get back into the fold of consistent blogging in 2009. Safe travels down to PSL.
