The
Story Another
year over, how time flies! We sent our youngest, Katie, off to school
this year which means I have a lot more time on my hands. Neville's
business is doing very well and continues to grow, but along with
the success come the long hours. We are all looking forward to the
Holidays to get to spend some time together without interruptions.
The
whole family will be gathering at our house for Christmas, nine
adults and twelve children! Among them my sister Patti and her husband
Eddie who are expecting their fourth child early in the new year.
Patti will have her hands full as Eddie has decided to start up
his own business. Our sister Rachel will be bringing a "friend"
home for Christmas. We are intrigued as he is the author of that
controversial new book "Now
Pull the Other One". Neville's sister, Phyllis and her husband
Bernard will be there too. They are completely devoted to the children
and go to great lengths to amuse the little ones. Bernard and Phyllis
still run Bernard's medical practice. No talk of retirement there!
Still, it's comforting to have a doctor in the house. You never
know! Neville's uncle Harvey, on the other hand, is enjoying a well
earned retirement from the security business. He will be spending
an extended holiday at our house while he settles into his new life
as a "gentleman of leisure". The
children are very much looking forward to this visit as are we.
I
hope that this note finds your family well. We would like to wish
you all the best for the New Year.
