While visiting Rochester and going to our old neighborhood, we were able to see the house we had lived in, both inside and out. New owners, Bob and Valerie, and their children Ryan and Cayla, really seem to love the house as much as we did, and have taken great care of it. It made us feel good knowing they are happy there, and the home we had for 18 years was in very good hands!
Steve and Jody arranged a Harkola reunion at their home while we were in town! We got to see Steve and Jody's daughter, Stephanie, son, Nick, and his fiance, Britney, Steve's parents, Chet and Helen, Jody's sister Gail and sister Leigh and her husband, Eric. We miss seeing everyone, whom we were fortunate enough to spend many special Christmases with! It was truly a wonderful day, and we were grateful we were able to get together!
We couldn't have left Rochester, without seeing friends, Kathy and Jack! Art and I were able to spend some time with Kathy and son, Kevin, one afternoon, and Kathy, Jack, Art, and I went out for dinner one evening. It was so good to see everyone, and as usual, we had lots of laughs and fun when we were together! There were many wonderful Thanksgivings that Art, Matt, and I had spent at the Shiltz household!
Marilyn, whom I had worked with at HCR, and her husband, Matt, invited us over to see their new home which is in Fairport. They and their families have spent the last months remodeling and updating the house, and it is gorgeous!! Of course, they have had to get things done a little sooner, since they are expecting a baby early next year! We are very happy for them!
Our McKenzie camping buddies, Kathy and Bill, invited us to their home one day for lunch, along with Judy and Dick, who helped found our McKenzie camping group. It was great to get together, and we had a very nice afternoon! We are hoping to see Kathy and Bill in Florida after the holidays, and Dick and Judy think they will visit Florida in 2012. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
