We brought in the 2007 new year with the Sorensens, the Lawlers and other friends as we cruised the Caribbean. The farthest point south was Grenada and we renewed our good memories by visiting "Solemente". A quick visit to Las Vegas allowed us to personally welcome Trevor back home. At the end of February the bad knee finally got fixed. The usual meetings that keep us in touch with the world came along in regular clockwork style. Inga, Lynn and Mary Lou drove the new car to Keystone for a last look at 1159. Culver's helped us spiff up the front of the Rosedale house; meanwhile Sherry worked hard in the garden. We spent more time in McGregor and did a little spiffing up there. We went to Flagstaff to help Dan graduate. We celebrated Bets graduation from Washington; another Hattery on a firm foundation! Suzy had a great 70th birthday party for Dick. Over the internet Irishmen kept showing up with information and questions about the J J Orr family. Preparations for the first week end in August kicked into high gear........
We had a great family reunion in August ...........
and we were treated to a memorable dinner in Florence ...
We liked Cortona a lot ....the hotel was nice.
the town plaza was interesting........
We met friends in Paris and enjoyed a convivial week-long barge trip on the Seine.
We explored French markets
and looked at several castles. As always, it was good to get home!
Soon we found ourselves on that old doctor-lab-hospital merry-go-round that is so popular at our age; but "All's Well that Ends Well" and every day we know life is good.
We look forward with anticipation to the new year and send you our love and prayers for your health and happiness!
and we were treated to a memorable dinner in Florence ...
Shadow said Humbug!
