1979 Xmas? NEWSLETTER
?
Well, it was a pretty good year, with our second wedding anniversary, the first year of rotating the holiday celebrations among the children, and our third Xmas together. We didn't do much travelling, but more or less stayed at home, enjoying visits from the children, plus our brothers and sisters. And we finally managed to get our picture taken.
?
Les had several well-paid consulting jobs during the year, spent considerably less time at Southwest Research, and so our Bulverde home was used much, much more. It made a difference, too' A lot was accomplished in landscaping, outdoor flood lighting, garden improvements and trying to teach a puppy dog not to chew up the newspaper.
?
Thelma's gardening skills kept the table well supplied so we ate like royalty. Les continued to make ceramic ware for us and it came in handy for wedding presents as well. A start was made on getting back into ham radio activities. And Les grew more hair on his bald spot. Honest.
?
Much of what we did was closely tied to family life with our children. Reporting it could take many pages, so we aren't even going to try. Instead, we enclose an up-to-date family directory, so information on each person can come "direct from the horse's stable" as you need it.
Maybe this is the easy way out, but it sure saves lots and lots of writing.
?
What's our life like now? Well, beyond doing what's necessary to maintain our two homes, we try to take things easy, enjoy concerts and dinner theaters, go shopping and dream ahead about some exciting travel, hopefully next year. Not wildly exciting, perhaps, but it can be a
comfortable thing after our lifetimes of hard work. We both worked hard for long years, so now its time to relax and really be retired.
