It was an unexpected thrill to have Bradley come back into our lives. It was twice the thrill to get Jennifer as a daughter as well. It was seven times the thrill to have suddenly seven grandkids to watch us grow old. We have had a yearly tradition for nearly twenty years of putting out what we like to call New Years News. It is a fun way to recap the events of the past year, and spring into the coming adventure.
Here are the past issues of NYN (most of them, anyway) in case you want to catch up.
NOTE: For whatever reason, the NYN with * next to them are really big files, and take awhile to download. Just be patient. As Cynthia’s mother used to say “Patience is a virtue, and virtue is its own reward.”
1997 – 1998 – 1999 – 2000 – 2001 – 2002 – 2003 – 2004 – 2005 – 2006 – *2007 – 2008 – 2009 – 2010 – 2011 – 2012.a.b.c.d.e. – 2013.a.b.c – *2014 – 2015.a.b.c – 2016 – 2017
In 2008 and 2009 we were living in Spain and published a month-by-month accounting of our excursions. I am trying to find them. If I do, I will include them here.
There was no January 2016 New Years News. We spent January, February and March mostly in hospitals. Read 2017 to catch up.
