A New Year- 2025

We are slowing way down on adding improvements to our passive solar home. Some projects have ended in utter failure and some just can’t find an installer or building to further our dreams. But its a new year and maybe there will be more action!

2024 in retrospect was about travel.

In March we visited my brother and cousin in Florida and with our grandson who was staying with us at the time, we all went to San Marcos Island and visited the Everglades National Park.

In April we enjoyed Wolf Lodge in Colorado Springs and visited the beautiful Garden of the Gods with our son’s in-laws.

We had the privilege of joining the Baek family for a wedding in Seoul South Korea. We visited several famous sites in the city, then we traveled to Jeju Island for a weeks’ vacation.

We bought a Tesla Y Long Range and decided to take it to Indiana to join some friends there for their 50th anniversary party. We visited friends along the way and back and set up the Tesla for camping.

We returned to Indiana in late summer in our RV on our way to visit our son and his wife in Virginia stopping at Frank Lloyd Wright’s famous Falling Water house and on our return visiting Dave’s brother and wife and my brother and cousin and then camping out at the Indiana Dunes with a reunion get-together with my high school friends.

Finally in December we were blessed with visits from my son’s in-laws Cheung-Baek and were happy to join the family to open presents and enjoy Christmas dinner together. I used the Cricut machine and transfer vinyl to create get-together t-shirts for all fourteen of us. We celebrated the New Year together. Then everyone left and 2025 began.
