Hi all,

We had a nice week here - Thursday and Friday off from work. The

weather has been really nice for this time of year. On Wednesday, Joe

set up our new iMac. We're still getting used to it, but it's nice! We

put our Christmas lights up outside on Friday.

I have two more weeks left of work, and then I'm off for the rest of the

year! Three weeks from today, we'll be heading to Madrid!

Mike and Jenn are both well. Mike is done with classes and is studying

for finals. Jenn still has three more weeks of classes and exams.

I'll be going to Minneapolis to meet with our vendor on Tuesday (very

early!) and coming back late Wednesday night. My boss is also coming

from San Jose for meetings on Wednesday.

Everything is the same with Joe at work.

That's about all the news. Hope everyone is well!

Kind regards,

Terry

Hi all,

We got a new computer this week - Joe has Wednesday as a vacation day

and he will be setting it up then! It replaces our old eMac.

Not much new here. 4 weeks from today we'll be flying to Madrid!

Mike is down to his last week of classes - then a study period and

exams. Jenn is having fun discovering Madrid, now that she's done

traveling around.

It's a short week at work because of Thanksgiving. We'll be going to

Perry on Thursday - we are invited to Jim (Frank and Pam's son) and

Karissa's house. They have two children now, Brody and Shea. Next

year we're thinking of trying to do something with Tom and Mary in

Detroit.

I only have three more weeks of work. The week of Dec. 13 is my

furlough week (week without pay), and then I have vacation the rest

of the year. I'm looking forward to the break.

That's about it - hope everyone is well, and for those with a long

weekend, hope it's a good one!

Kind regards,

Terry

Hi all,

Happy Birthday to Paul this past week!!!

Nothing new with us. Five weeks from today we'll be flying to Madrid!

The weather this weekend was warm. We finished up most of the work outside - now we start the cleaning up inside!

Jenn is back from her weekend trip to Cordoba and Sevilla. It was a program trip, and she went with her group. That is the last trip that Jenn has planned. She's registered for classes at Binghamton starting in January - she'll be living off campus in a house with some friends.

Mike has a week and a half left of classes, then study for finals. A short interview with him regarding his study abroad in Japan is posted on Santa Clara's website at http://law.scu.edu/international/tokyo.cfm.

Joe and I watched the movie "Big Night" over the weekend. It's not new - 1996 - it has Tony Shalhoub (the man who plays "Monk") in it. It made me think of mother. We enjoyed the movie.

That about it. Hope everyone is well.

Kind regards,

Terry

Hi All,

Not much new here. The weather has been beautiful the past couple of
days - sunny and warm, in the high 60s. We went and cleaned out
Grace's house a little more yesterday and today we worked in the yard
some more.

Mike and Jenn are doing well. Mike made moot court this time around,
so he'll be competing in LA in the spring.

The Spanish class that Joe and I are taking is going fine. We
learned the "ar" verb last week. It's a very low-key class, but it's
fun and we're learning a little!

Work is pretty much the same for Joe and I. GM sent four fuel cell
cars to Vancouver for the winter Olympics. Kodak is still
struggling. I'll be going to visit our vendor in Minneapolis on Dec
1-2 to try to plan some work for next year - I think that I'll miss
Jim and Nancy though, as they will be in Mexico.

That's it - I hope everyone is well.

Kind regards,
Terry

Hi Folks,

Happy Halloween and Le Dia de Los Muertos!

Not too much is new here. Jenn is back from Rome. She had a great

time. She needs to register this week for classes next semester, so

she is working on her schedule. Mike is studying hard - he had a

moot court try-out and will find out early in the week if he qualified.

The weather here has been pretty nice - cool and a little rainy, but

we've had some nice sunny days. The leaves have all turned, and most

of them have fallen. We worked out in the yard today, raking and

clearing out the flower beds.

Work is going the same for Joe and me. Nothing much new.

Hope everyone is well!

Kind regards,

Terry
