Christmas 2010
The Seasons come, the Seasons go And here we are with flecks of snow Upon the ground, 'tis Christmas time And yes, put up you must with Susan's rhyme.
February brought changes in the Rochat realm Mel moved from lakehouse to Birmingham Nonpaying renter booted from Chalet A massive cleanup was underway.
In March we flew out to Walla Walla To visit Roger's 94 year old Mama And celebrate the many blessings given Over nine decades of prayerful living.
In April guess who acquired 200 new trees And bushes, enough to make one sneeze Though married to a very intelligent guy
Susan oft wonders, "Why, oh tell me why?"
Student picnics times two, in Spring and Fall Kept us hopping; and now on a concrete wall Beside the Chalet, a lovely mural twenty feet by eight, Designed by student artist, graces the estate.
In May an exciting trip to Italy The Czech Republic and Germany Mexico in August, Greece and Turkey in the Fall We've set a record for Susan and had a ball.
September, a month of visits from family Rolfe cousins from Perth—Tim and Gerry, In the midst of chaos arrived Samantha Brooke Rochat Miller And with her in our lives, the quiver couldn't be fuller.
Thanksgiving in the Northwest, lots of turkey and curry Stranded with snow, but oh not to worry Roger turned 70, does not plan to retire, Why should he whilst happy and doting students admire?
We gather together at this time of year With family and friends, each of whom we hold dear
We wish for each one many blessings from above And a Happy New Year to you and all whom you love.
Susan hand: Dec 22nd Dear Dorothy, Bruce & Jared
Wondering where you are now! Love to each, Roger & Susan. Enjoyed being with you over Thanksgiving
