Happy New Year
Great photos. Happy to hear you are doing well. We will be in Florida in February. Sorry we'll miss you. Happy sailing!

Happy New Year back to you!
Glad to see sunny pics. We're in the midst of an ice storm: trees shrouded and branches dropping in the back yard! Aren't you glad you're where you are?

Happy New Year back to You
Where are you now? Was planning a phone call this week. We have had an unusual winter thus far; expect the shoe to fall soon though. We are not complaining, and the sun is on the rise and starting to "arise before I". Still no change in our residential status yet... been a long haul. As last year was the 100 anniversary year of the RCN, I have dug out all my Canadian Naval History books and started a re-read... good winter exercise. Cheers to you three. M&M

Dear friends: As freezing rain comes down here, coating the car in ice and making the road impassable - Xanadu sounds and looks wonderful! Is that in Mexico? Sounds like a Mexican name. Enjoy yourselves. It\'s a good time not to be here. I am just wrapping up the sale of the Cottage Business, meanwhile booking lots of summer reservations. Happy it is doing well as I turn it over to Debbie (who is getting more excited and terrified everyday!) I think that she would prefer that we were home to answer her calls and emails instead of somewhat inaccessible on the road. But tonight we are on the road again and she is on her own for a week or so until we get back and hand the whole thing over to them. Jan.23 is the changeover date and the next day I will be turning 59! So on to the next chapter! Love you, Eliz XXOO

We thought you were lost.
Hi, Chris and Frank. So good to hear from you. You disappeared down the road and that was that. We hope that boating is starting to show its good side to you and that you are enjoying it more. Think of the alternative - we have 3 degr, C and intermittent snow and rain with a mournfully dull sky. Try to keep cheerful and active under those circumstances. Thank goodness we have club meetings, etc. to keep us active. We hope that you are well, and we wish you a great boating season for 2012. Ursula and Herb.

Enjoy the high life. Its cold here and we expect a couple of inches of snow tonight. I met Peggy Nash last night. Drank some beer (Jimmie Stewart bought it), ate a few onion rings and chomped on some hot wings and listend to how she will change things when she is Prime minister. Wishful thinking eh?
