To our dear family and friends,
One of the favorite parts of our Christmas season, is to take a moment to reconnect with all the special people in our life like YOU.
You are a part of our extended family and important to us. We love your notes or calls, emails and Facebook postings, visits to SB or stop overs. Thank you so much. We are grateful for your friendship and love.
Our #1 highlight this year to share with you was the birth of our first grandchild Laura Paige. She was born May 28th ( my birthday) to Ryan and Tina. We welcomed her with love and kisses and treasure each and every moment we have with her.
Rachel and Johan enjoy living and working in San Diego , with Johan commuting many miles for teaching at Occidental and UC Riverside. Phillip continues to work in the area of finance and research along with many other interests and pursuits.
Last year at this time Fritz and I cruised the Danube, Budapest to Nuremburg with my cousins. We experienced Christmas in 3 countries, along with the food and lovely traditions.
Our other highlight was our family reunion with the Schirm and Scribe family in Lake Tahoe over the July 4th weekend. It was a wonderful time for all with family activities and fun for the 35 plus family members to have this time together and enjoy each other. Most special was our cruise across the Lake celebrating my Uncle Rene and Aunt Phyllis 50th anniversary. Thankful for family and our times together.
Fritz and I stay busy with many new friends and interests. He looks forward to anytime he can go out on the go carts, or take out the 1927 Buick. We are both getting the itch to travel again also next year. I am involved with MOPS on Wednesdays, and I teach art in private lessons, and at Bethel house on Tuesdays. I am also on Auxiliary at the Rescue Mission which keeps me quite busy. Trips up north have been few. Mammoth and Tahoe and the bay area. Mostly we travel to San Diego and Fountain Valley. But I love to see my family and friends, and make a point when we drive north or south to visit with anyone we can. Friends and Family are the best.
Love you all,
Fritz and Lorette
