This has been a good year for us, it is a blessing that we are still together so many people our age have lost their husband or wife and are alone.

We sure are lucky. I know we are getting old and sometimes we are not fast anymore and even forget things but that is normal when you are 81 years. We still enjoy many things , family is the most important thing in our lives , we love our children, grand-children and great-grandchildren and it is fun to have them come home and visit us.

It is also special to have zussies and a broertje. We had a good time together in Florida at Tina's home with Jack and Oeke, Ansje and Demoyne and Tina and Ralph. It was too bad that Nelly and Maurice could not be there. We wish all of you a merry Chritmas and a Happy New Year and we hope to see you all Saturday Dec 4 at the Sinterklaas party.
