Christmas 2012
Another amazing year for the Roses of Roseville!
That’s what I said, THE ROSES OF ROSEVILLE! We are settled in Sun City Roseville, California. This is exactly what we have been looking for the last few years and can’t believe our luck in finding it. It is a 55+ golf course community with 27 holes of golf, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, great clubs and neighbors and close to family. We moved in on January 30 and Dwight had a golf cart by February 2. We have comfortable guest quarters and several family and friends have already signed our guestbook. We hosted our first holiday, Easter, with family and friends and our traditional Egg Hunt. We are halfway between San Francisco and Lake Tahoe and we have had several guests stop and stay with us enroute. We’ve had visitors from Honolulu, LA, Arizona, Washington, Kansas City and Chicago as well as day visits with California cousins and friends. We have discovered the 49er Gold Country, the Sierra Wine Country and the Sacramento River Country. You can surf and ski in the same day. And most weeks we don’t even leave the neighborhood
with golf, bridge, bocce, bookclub and wonderful new neighbors and friends. Come see us!
The priority in moving here was to be closer to family. And what perfect timing that was!
Leslie and Tim are living 12 hours away by car straight up I-5. We have made the trip several times already and it is an easy one day drive going up and a relaxing 2 day drive coming home through Oregon. We spent a week with Jack and Joe this summer, camping and swimming and Halloween with them at their new home trick or treating and volunteering for the 2
nd grade class party. We love being so close to them. This has also allowed us to see more of Dwight’s sister and brother and their families as well.
Adam is still in Hawaii and we visited him in April with the Iowa cousins. Jessica’s family, the Palumbo’s, were there at the same time. While we were all in Kauai, Adam and Jess became engaged and they are planning a March wedding in Honolulu. Who could have predicted all those years ago in Singapore we would be planning a wedding together with old friends who would become
family! We also were able to spend Thanksgiving with Adam & Jess. It is a short 5 hr flight direct from Sacramento to Honolulu. Hope this will be the first of many more family holidays with them.
Ben & Jennifer presented us with the newest addition to the family just days ago. Henry James Rose arrived December 6, at 8 lbs 7 ozs and 21 inches. He is the perfect combination of the two of them. Ben’s profile and Jennifer’s dark hair. They are in San Francisco, a quick two hour drive from us. We hope to be spending lots of time watching Henry grow. They will be closing on a house in Oakland at the end of the year and that will make them another 15 minutes closer.
This has truly been a year of blessings for us. We hope you and your families can say the same, as we celebrate the Holy Season of Christmas.
