Here we are ready to enjoy our second Christmas at our home in Southern England. This is the time we always reflect on our last year and also look forward to the next. In the spring of 08 we enjoyed a week in Monaco and Southern France. I then went to Lake Chelan for a 6 week working vacation on the Cabin. We both took 2 weeks in August for a wonderful holiday also in Chelan Washington. In the fall we enjoyed a week trip into Egypt and followed that up with two weeks in Arizona during Thanksgiving, where we had this Kodak moment with our family. We had a few significant celebrations this year. The most special was our 25 th Wedding Anniversary. Next was my 40 th class reunion from Quincy High School, in Washington. While in Arizona Julie had her 50 th Birthday and last we couldn't forget our faithful dog 'Bogey' turning 10. In between all of these side trips Julie not only managed to work her full time job for Barclay's, but put her UK Southern Region in the number 1 spot out of the 9 UK Regions. Great job Julie! Son Brent is busy as a Pharmacist specializing in hospice care. He and Sandra are busy raising our grand daughter Kiana. Brooke is finishing her 3 rd year at Arizona State U, towards her teaching degree. I am proud to say that our children are doing just fine without us. We wish all of our family and friends all the best during the holidays and going forward through these interesting times. I'll keep "blogging" along as best I can. "MERRY CHRISTMAS"

Phil,
I took a non-scientific vote and came to the conclusion that you can afford a comb for future picture taking. I know the financial markets have taken a hit, but you can still keep up appearances for the rest of us..
Merry Christmas to you and your lovely bride.

these are some tough times, we all have to learn to cut back
