Happy Holidays & New Year to All....

K and I are poised to leave for northern California Christmas Eve....and are due back in Albuquerque before the New Year begins. We plan on viewing Redwoods, riding horses on the beach, possibly riding a "skunk train" into the groves, and driving up and down the coast...we'll be staying in a Cape Cod-style cottage, and will walk or drive into the village for Christmas dinner and for other meals as well...cottage comes equipped with a hot tub and other fine amenities...Here is a link to views of the cottage we're staying in...and you can also link back to MacCallum House's main page from there, too, to find out about the place: http://www.maccallumhouse.com/pages/rooms/rm23.html

It has been a full year for us, with trips, lots of work news, and various other amusements, which we will share with you soon.

A View of Heaven

The skylights are installed. Take a peek. The top one is the bedroom, which is an opaque one and is intended simply to let in light; the kitchen/living area skylight is a clear skylight -- it lets in light and when you look straight up through it you see blue sky and tree branches.
