England 2009
We
flew out of SeaTac on Thursday, landing in England early
Friday morning. Paul’s sister, Ann, and Mick met us at the airport and
took us to their house in Wakefield
for a quick meal and a “one hour” nap. After three hours of sleep, Ann
finally woke us so that we could make our way to
York
for the weekend’s festivities.
Most of the family arrived in York
on Friday, and we all met for drinks and dinner at the Doormouse pub
across from the hotel, where
Frances
was thrilled to enjoy some fish and chips – a recurrent theme throughout
our trip. While we were enjoying the visit, we had to make our early
excuses so that we could catch up on our sleep. Of course, we were wide
awake by 3:30 the next morning. [more...]

A
Christmas Story
The
Christmas season started in the Ryan house on December 6 when we went to
pick out a Christmas tree at the North Butte tree farm just down the
road from our home. It was our first year picking out a live tree, and
we were excited to have a fresh-cut tree in the living room. After
selecting our tree we went to the town’s annual Christmas Lights Parade
followed by a welcome gathering for all newcomers to the community.
