Greetings
from the deep winter of western New York where the high temperature later this
week will be near 70. But we know all of the weather’s tricks, and we’re
too smart to put away our snow shovels, boots, hats, and gloves when it’s only
February, because we know that upper 60s this week can still be followed by 2
feet of snow next week.
We had a
pretty dusting of snow yesterday morning that melted away by afternoon, but it
still served to cover up the old, gross looking snow piles left by shoveling
and plowing, at least for a little while.
Family
birthdays since last month’s update are: Jemmie 1/21, Abigail 2/2, Cody
2/11, my brother David 2/14, and Caitlin 2/18. In addition to the parties
for Jemmie, Abigail, and Cody, we of course also had a Super Bowl party.
Since we have family in Philadelphia and since their opponent was the Patriots,
we were all very happy with the result. My pastor is a big Eagles fan and
loaned me a jersey to wear during the game. He kept it relatively mellow
Sunday morning at church, just wearing an Eagles tie, but his wife and
daughters wore jerseys.

This is
pretty short, but I’ll finish with the big news of this month. We are
pleased to announce the engagement of our son, Cai, to Amy Crocker! They
are planning an August 2018 wedding in Connecticut.

| Congratulations Cai and Amy! |
Talk to you
in March!
