Visitors from the South

We had great participation for our 2013 holiday festivities. Laurie, Mitch, Spencer and Jack flew up from the tropical Florida Keys for a week of Northern chills and thrills. Polar Vortex notwithstanding, we all kept warm, safe and entertained, thanks to the generous hospitality of the Ohio Bunch. The only absent sibs were Jan, Danny, Stephen ...& families. You all were missed and very much in our thoughts and prayers. NEXT year, let's try for 100% perfect attendance. (We aren't getting any younger, you know...)  |
