We needed a break from our typical “on-the-go” vacations, so we decided to book a week at an all-inclusive resort in Nassau, Bahamas. We chose Sandals Royal Bahamian, partly because it is an adults-only resort and we’ve wanted to return to the Bahamas and visit one of the other islands.

Rijeka, Croatia
We visited Rijecka, Croatia in 2024 as part of a Greek Island Cruise, celebrating Betsy’s 60th and Dani’s 40th birthdays.
We did a self-guided tour, exploring Trsat Fortress, their downtown area, and a retro computer museum.
Christmas Dinner
Since it would be only the two of us for Christmas this year (weβre getting together with the rest of the family on New Yearβs Eve weekend), we decided to try something different and make Beef Wellington for Christmas dinner.
Halloween 2023
Picasso and his painting, inspired by our recent trip to Barcelona and Paris.
Dani and Jackson also drove down for the weekend to join in the fun!
Halloween 2022
We were a more family-friendly version of Cards Against Humanity this year!
I think people were eager to get life back to normal by now and we had a much better turn out this year.
Halloween 2021
A ghostly couple!
A smaller turn-out this year due to concerns of Covid-19 still, but we had several areas setup outside on the decks and the lawn to keep people far enough apart, yet able to enjoy each other’s company!
Halloween 2019
Invasion of the Garden Gnomes! A fun costume with the greenscreen.
Mona and Ellie were both fairies this year – they definitely planned this one! They had fun showing off their wings!
Halloween 2018
After our Star Trek cruise earlier this year, we had to wear Star Trek costumes for the party!
This was the second year in a row that Mona and Eleanor had matching costumes (I think they planned this!)
Halloween 2017
Our friends Jim & Linda borrowed our dog, Lily to round out their costumes as Doc Martin and Morwenna.
Sharknado was our theme, including floating sharks and barbies in the hot tub!
Our granddaughter Eleanor and our coworker Mona both dressed as black cats – they had a blast posing together!
