We are doing completely different things than we used to. Our lifestyle has drastically changed. The UP is a beautiful winter wonderland. We are downhill skiing, crosscountry skiing, ice skating, broom ball playing and don’t forget snow shovelling. A year ago this time we were sailing in the Jumentos, hungry for Pringles. Amazing to think that we actually chose this lifestyle! My folks are here and we have some grand plans for “the Compound” we are planning to build. Is it ever going to happen? I hope so. We will be very disappointed if it doesn’t.
Our finacial status has changed also. For the first time we have filed our tax return with a standard deduction. We are renters! We still have the house in Houston in case we need to bail. There are not a lot of decent properties here to rent. It is not the manner that I was accustomed to prior to sailing, but after sailing it is like the Taj Mahal.
Life after our sailing sebatical has been a challenge. Our focus on life has definitely changed. Family is more important than it used to be. We are doing more, together and with my parents. I haven’t lived near them in 18 years. It is fun to get to know them again.
The cabin/compound is on hold for the winter. Only dreams of it’s eventuallity exist now. I will try to get some pictures of fun in the snow for you.

Hey Dana!!
I know that we are long overdue for catching up. Life is busy here. How on earth do you people have time for husbands and kids? : )
Anyway, I got your number and my new one is 608-338-3963 so you have it. Yes the world can know my phone number and that is not even my Google voice one.
Was just thinking about you because saw a fb post that led me to here somehow but no time to talk….. so though i would
put a quick note here.
I am planning on driving up to visit you with my dog Toby this summer. Would that be okay? I have a tent.
