This year started with me spending a few days at Branson, Mo before heading to South Padre Island, Texas for most of January and part of February. I attended church weekly at Weslaco, Texas with the congregation where Dianne had served. The vacation was cut short in February when I suffered a heart problem. I was very grateful that my son David was able to fly down and drive me home. I then went to St Luke's Hospital in Kansas City in March and had 3 more stents put in plus a number of other heart arteries opened larger.

There was a Picton Reunion this summer in Wales. I went and took my son David along with two of my Granddaughters Martha and Kathryn. We went to Ireland, toured Dublin, took a ferry across the Irish Sea, rented a car in Wales, attended the Picton Reunion, toured Picton Castle and toured Pembrokeshire and Carmathenshire in Wales. I spent a month on vacation and David and his two daughters spent three weeks.

I have taken several trips to Chicago, Illinois to visit my son Stephen, daughter-in-law Kelly and Grandchildren. My Granddaughter Anna age 10 is growing, in the fifth grade, likes to draw and practices the piano. My Grandson Zachary age 14 is a Freshman in high school. He went out for running cross country, is taking a school choir tour to New Orleans in February, and plays the piano and sings in what I call a Praise Band with his Dad and a couple of other men at church. Zachary is as tall as I am.
