George with Dziadek's guitars. 2007 started with a trip to Disney World in January for George's 2nd birthday. It was really a distraction for Jaime because she missed Dan so much. But we were all blessed with a great visit with Great Grandma Thelma.

Bob

BOB is still having fun with his music. He ran a Music Club and Concert Series at the UU Fellowship again in 2007, and still plays sax and guitar in worship services.  He no longer jams and the Rusty Nail.  Toooo loud.  "It it's too loud you're too old!"  "B!S! Look what it did to my hair!"  He also jams with Gracy's Gang monthly.  Work on the house, yard, computer, and TV take up the rest of his time.  His answering machine message says, "Sorry I can't take your call right now, Jack Nicholas and Arnold Palmer just stopped by for a golf lesson, I gotta go, these guys need a lot of help!" 

He will definitely miss making music with Mom.  This was last Christmas.  What a dynamic duet.

Taos Road Trip

In April and May we attended a great 10 day  art workshop in Taos,NM.  That was the excuse at least for the 6 week road trip through the southwest.  We stopped in Mill Springs, NC to visit Inez, Ralph, Wyatt and John, from there to Nashville, saw Brenda Lee sing at the Grand Ole Opry, saw Graceland in Memphis, Stan F. in Oklahoma City,  saw Charlie and Sara P. in Tijeras, NM, Albuquerque, Sante Fe, Grand Canyon,  Chris and George B. in Sedona, AZ, Judy and Ethan D. in Prescott, AZ, Jim and Barbara W. in Crested Butte, CO, and Bob and Nancie , Kerri and Lyle in Denver, CO.  We had a great!! time with these people.  On the way home we stopped in Peduka and Gatlinburg TN.  It was a fantastic trip.  I you want to see more photos, email Anne at annevank@ec.rr.com and I will send you a link Kodak. 

Thelma Dec 11,1911- March 24, 2007

It is with both joy and sadness we greet this holiday. Anne's Mother died in March and we miss her this Christmas.  She was an inspiration to all.  She loved painting watercolors and quilting and worked on them every day.  "I will miss her laughter most of all.  She was 96.

Merry Christmas
