2011 WORD

CHRISTMAS 2011

The time has come, yes, the time is here To send Season's greetings of good cheer To those we love, both far and near, and To those who wish these poems would just disappear!

Our children and their offspring sweet Make our days and nights, full and complete

They come to play, stay, and entertain, Keep us in stitches with their silly games.

Inspired by their antics and funny ways, A Children's book was published in the past few days,

Mr. Robin and the Very Clever Worm we hope is a hit

Beautifully illustrated by Mel, full of suspense and wit!

Dear Roger, hardworking professor and financier

For Susan and the lake house, and ever the dreamer,

Mentoring students, planting flowers and

trees still his passion

Some things, for him, never go out of

fashion.

Mel and Richard reside with their dogs in Gulf Breeze

The land of citrus, and mangoes, and coconut trees

A semi tropical paradise, you may want to stay

But not for too long, they charge by the day (just kidding!)

David, Lisa, Alex (5), and baby Sammy (15 months),

Just off the highway in Old Towne Suwanee,

Alex in kindergarten, loves Lego and plays baseball too

Sammy cuddles, then toddles off to find something new.

Suzette, Michael, Rachel and Daniel Roger All lead busy lives in Hoover, Alabama Rachel (5) the reader, and ring leader of Daniel who's three,

Keep Mom and Dad hopping, with not one minute free.

Thanksgiving in Walla Walla, a special time for all,

Harris grandchildren and Great grandma Mary had a real ball (GG 95.7) With lovely rented cottage and Pioneer Park close by

Each enjoyed time and space when energy was high.

Now as 2011 comes to an end, and the New Year begins

For our dear friends and family we wish wonderful things

Like love, joy and friendship, and peace that abounds

In your hearts and your homes, may God's blessings surround.

With much love and hugs to each and every one, Susan and Roger

Susan's Pen" We will be celebrating our 45th anniversary dec 25; not bad for a one week courtship!
