2014 - The above photo had over 5,000 likes on the Seattle KOMO 4 News web site.  A "Wolf" moon.  Another busy year at work for Butch.  Working in Ballard, building a high-rise storage facility.  Long hours - with longer commutes - leaving me with plenty of ride time.

Even our youngest two - are growing so fast!  How long will it take for them to be taller than I am?  Ben is grown!

A new year & a new decade!  For couple who book-ended the 50's - we've marked the passing of the years - watching as our five Grandchildren grow.  I know they're going to do more of that!  We're loving every minute!
Here's to 2020!  
Happy New Year!
