The One minute Haber Klimaszewski Holiday Letter 2009—
What's up with us! We have had an incredible, busy, wonderful year.
January-we got ready for our drive across the country, to stay in Novato, Ca. for 2 ½ months. We put our Ann Arbor house on the rental market, trying to get a short term furnished rental, packed up a lot of our stuff, brought it up north.
February-drove across I-80. We stopped in Chicago to see Jim and Laura, Des Moines to see Melisa, Salt Lake City to see Matt, Rachel and Isaac. Everybody loved Gus! We almost got stuck in Laramie, Wyoming, it is cold and windy on those plains!
February-March- We rented a condo in Novato, Ca. We had a wonderful time. Jim and Laura visited, we went to many wineries, found staircases, beautiful scenery. If you are interested it is on our blog http://danandpatcalifornia2009.blogspot.com
March-April-we drove down to Southern Ca. to Redlands, went to Yosemite, Death Valley. Planned to go to more National Parks in Utah (we get in free now) but our van broke down 20 miles north of Las Vegas. We had to rent a van to return home. We stopped again to see Matt and family and Melisa.
May-completely cleared out Ann Arbor house, found a long term tenant, Painted, cleaned and moved, in a 3 week period of time!
May-present –moved upnorth! We love it, we are so happy! Meeting many people, involved in so many activities: golf, Newcomers Group, Mah Jongg, Euchre, volunteering at State Theatre. (We are too busy sometimes!). Our Daughter in law Rachel says our life is "like being on a cruise!"
Adam-is still travelling a lot, living in Brooklyn, and doing well despite economy, learning to skeet shoot and loving it.
Melisa is enjoying life at Drake University in Des Moines and went to England and Italy for conferences
Matt, Rachel and Isaac-continue to thrive, enjoying parenthood and academic life in Salt Lake City.
Jay, Lindsey had an adorable baby boy, Henry and moved to Alameda.
It's been a busy event filled year.
This letter sounds like a newspaper article, I know, but you can add the adjectives, you know what they are.
We did have sadness, too. Dan's brother, Jim, who lived in Grass Vallley, Ca., died of lung cancer at age 54. He got diagnosed late, and died shortly afterwards. Yes, folks, he did not have Health Insurance!
