Ringing out the Old Year and Ringing in the New Year

We are awaiting results of  the end of year MRI in the Cancer Center at Swedish Hospital today, after ten days of travel and enjoying a trip to Denver visiting Erin, Glen, new grand baby "Taj", Heather, cousin Bobbi, friends Gary and Debbie, Kez and Doug.... Phew, we are tired and ready to be home but very thankful for the time with friends and family, a few pounds heavier, and generally in good spirits.  Our annual eye exams went well and bleeding in Dennis's retina has subsided so that there are not the worries of last year.  Heather is off on a cruise to New Zealand for14 days, and Erin has off from teaching school so everyone except Bobbi is getting some r&r for the new year.  All is good with the world, the Broncos and Seahawks are doing great.... And well, Dennis is feeling good...
Our friends Karen and Jim are celebrating the completion of their new house in Thorne Bay with a big bash on new years so we'll hop on the ferry to celebrate with them for a day or two.
When I can post some family pictures I will.  Results from the MRI show no changes!, everything stable for another three months! Happy New Year to all, With best wishes for good health to you all, Faith and Dennis

A Mule Deer from Montana

Dennis has been busy on his six weeks down south. Besides meeting his new grand baby he was able to bag a 4 X 5 mule deer within 200 yards of the Missouri River. This hunting spot is just two miles west of the town of Fort Benton. Dennis really enjoys this spot and had friends in the area. He also replaced the engine in his truck in Dillon, Montana. THAT is a whole other story. He hunted in Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota.  He drove the newly fixed truck home via ferry. He got home right in time for Thanksgiving and to help with the move in to the Winter Arts Faire here at home.

Please realize we have a new PO Box and Zipcode.  Wait to send holiday mail to us until you hear.  We'll be updating you all on the medical results from the last visit.
Wishing you the best for the holidays, Faith and Dennis.

Dennis becomes a Grandfather! Taharqa Israel Neill Williams born on September 27th 2012 to Erin and Glen Williams

So there's a new baby in the family!!  A 7 pound 1 ounce baby boy was born to Erin (Neill) and her husband Glen Williams.  He has been growing by leaps and bounds.  Dennis was able to see the baby on his trip south.  At the time of this picture he had grown significantly.  Check out those camo pants!!  "Taj" is his nickname-he was 7 pounds one ounce when born, and he is quite a chunk now.  Further updates as we get them.  Hugs to everyone, Dennis and Faith
