FAMILY TIDBITS

Marilyn and Issy were, unfortunately, sick much of the time when in Sidney for the Holidays. They were both feeling better by the time they returned to Yuma on January 6, and enjoyed the time at home despite the discomfort. Marilyn celebrated her 74th birthday on January 5, with lunch in Williston, accompanied by Mavis, Ron, Julie, and Dad. There was a second pizza birthday party at Fairview in the evening.

Julie is now living in Minot (temporarily care-taking her employer's house) and commuting from there to Williston two days each week for her job. Ashley is attending beauty school at Albert Lea, Minnesota, and is living with Susan.

Mavis and Ron are leaving this week for a winter vacation (it was 27 degrees below zero when I talked to Mavis yesterday!), in Montana (with Lana), Nevada, California and Arizona (We look forward to their visit here in about 10 days!) After a week at home they will fly to Rotan, Honduras (a resort island) for two weeks. Will is already there practicing rescue diving. Dad will have the good company of Luke and Abbie, with some help around the house from Rhonda and Vicki.

Lila was in the hospital with a rapid heart beat for a couple of days before Christmas, but was out in time for a gathering at Cindy's and a traditional Ukrainian Christmas meal (that included Tim, as well). Mavis, Ron, and Dad were there for a medical appointment on December 23d, and enjoyed lunch with Tim and Cindy.

Hope your new year is off to a good start!

Bill
