Happy New Year to all! And yes, like a cleaning fool I did clean and vaccum the house before the clock struck 2005. This year however I didn't compile the usual list of 50 items I plan to accomplish. Who am I kidding with new resolutions. Heading toward my 62nd year I'm just happy to have all my teeth (thanks to 5 new crowns and 1 root canal in 2004) and some of my hair. This month I'm taking a Ukulele class and a caregiver class! Weird but fun combination of classes huh. I'm still seeing private clients at PeaceHealth and doing pro-bono work at the Alzheimer's Association. On Mondays I'm at the Assistance League sorting books and marking merchandise. I love working for the league!

Good news about Josh. He's back in Hawaii as of December and he got a great job working as an environmental specialist for the state. He's using his chemistry backgournd and samples water at the beaches and then surfs after work! Jodie will be joining him this week and then they'll be looking for a place to live. They are in sticker shock because of the high cost of housing and rentals.

Lohring is still treking back and forth to Grants Pass and enjoys his job. His in-town work as a volunteer dental director at the early Head Start Program is putting him into the new world of public health dentistry...hurrah for him. He's also going to be very busy being the district director for the northwest region which means he'll be gone more than usual to all the races, etc. He plans to be in Fremont, California in February for a race and then to New Hampshire in July for the annual NAMBA championships. He plans to visit Sadie during that time!

Dorothy will be visiting friends in Florida from January 17-31. Shortly after her return she and her sister Caroline will be going on a cruise in the Panama Canal area from February 17-27. After then she will visit Caroline in Washington and will be here in Eugene from March 12-19th. We'll be in touch about visiting you folks and setting up some fun things to do during her visit.
