| Our Kitchen is gorgeous. It was finished by March with appliances, too. Pat's the cook and is loving it. |  |
 |
A cruise with our church, MCCSD, provided us with an additional treat, dinners with our founder, Rev. Troy Perry. |
| The price of gas finally sent Pat over the edge -- we got a new Prius -- average 50 MPG -- happy us. |  |
 |
San Diego State University brought us a special guest; the Dalai Lama -- awesome! |
| The Borego Springs retreat was great this year, and an inspiration as well. Upon returning, we began with weight loss and our never ending battle of the bulge. |  |
 |
Emi joined us again for awhile this year after a fall broke her hip. She is doing pretty well now and went with us to see the musical drama, Allegiance. |
| Pat continues with Swedish lessons and enjoys working with the people
of the House of Sweden in Balboa Park. She still does their website, too. |
 |
| Sandy is still a button nut & continues doing the newsletter and
website.
The San Diego Airport button display turned out really lovely. |

Gaudi; not expected to be finished 'til 2026 or 2028. |
| While on board, Sandy pretended that she was in the Harry Potter Chess game. We finished the trip with two nights in Barcelona before returning home -- fun! |  |
 |
We just returned in time to spend a week on a mini-vacation with Mavis, my cousin from Australia. |
| Next, we were off on a 10 day stay with Sue Bixler on Kailua, Oahu. The beach is one house away and nearly private. We spent an evening with Pat's college friend, Gail, and her husband, Phil. |  ... |
Warm wishes to you all, Pat and Sandy
