Happy New Year 2019

Peace!

We wish for you a happy, healthy, fulfilling year in 2019! May it be filled with love, kindness, and compassion! Below is a short summary of 2018.

Wolfgang (Jakob) continues to build his business in Oakland. Check out some of his designs and creations on his website, Cathartic Productions. Ian traveled out of the country most of last year, and is back living with us. He composes, practices and plays music a lot, and is putting finishing touches on a CD . Kira is in her second year teaching geometry full time in Hayward, CA., and snowboards in Tahoe a lot. John's mom, Annette, turned 90 last February, and most of her immediate family and grandkids surprised her for a weekend of fun in a house in Venice Beach. My mom, Barbara, is doing great and constantly busy, always helping others, as usual. Mom and I have taken road trips the past two years during my spring break.

We love our 4 cats, Lily Mae (mama cat), Gomez (our big boy), Selina (our goof ball), and Baby Girl (the mouser). They like it when it's quiet here with only John and me around, and make themselves scarce when there are visitors.

We keep ourselves busy with work, Israeli dance, our Temple band, etc. I was looking through our photos from last year to pick some out for this new year greeting, and it's amazing how I had forgotten a lot of what we did, where we went, and who we saw last year! Thank goodness for photos!

If interested, click here to see a few photos from the past year, including ones from Oregon last January, Annette's party, and our trip to China last summer.

Wishing you a wonderful new year!

Love,

Julie and John
