Steve and Laura played a round of golf with Jeff and Bailey on Saturday at our Trilogy course. They all had a great time and we appreciate Jeff and Bailey for taking them since neither of us can play due to my back and Alesa’s shoulder.

Steve’s cousin, Sara, and her husband, Alvin Adams, live in Phoenix and they wanted to visit with them but their kitchen is being renovated so Laura hosted a dinner here for them (and us). Alvin played ball for the Suns from ’75 to ’88 and still works for the organization.

We spent New Years's Eve at Jeffs. They were all going out to parties and we were happy to spend the night and watch the dogs. I stayed up until midnight and Alesa kind of did. She was in bed but reading.

Our 55th wedding anniversary was on the 27th and we celebrated on the 28th. We went to a local restaurant, High Tide, recommended by jeff and had excellent meals followed by a complimentary slice of key lime pie for our anniversary. We are looking forward to many more wonderful years together.

Jeff and family came over to celebrate Christmas Eve with us and we Facetimed with Mike and the girls after dinner. Mike had shipped us a package of our gifts so we opened ours and they opened theirs during the call.
