Christmas 2019

December 9, 2019

Hello All, 

It appears that I was too busy grooming my friend, BOGO The Cat, to write a
letter last year. Interesting. I, Sid The Cat, am here to catch you up on the
events of the past two years!

As noted above, I, Sid The Cat, keep busy grooming BOGO The Cat.  She
tolerates me, but occasionally gets really angry and beats me up.  We happily
co-exist with Alice the Cat, although there is occasional hissing at mealtime when
we all want the same bowl.  Liberty Dog left us in November, the humans say she
had a long life for a Saint Bernard (about 9 years). Morrison, The Furry Toddler,
continues to entertain us all--chasing us and showing us her toys.

Pete and Sarah continue at their jobs--Sarah at the same high school she has
taught at since August 2002 and Peter at his law firm that he opened in 2005. 
Last spring Sarah presented with her co-teacher at a conference about literacy.
Sarah also tutors a couple nights a week at the local library. Business at the law
firm is going well.  Pete is learning to work remotely, so he can still get things done
while traveling with Lucas (see below).

Claudia is a freshman at the University of Northern Colorado. She was accepted
at UNC, The University of Colorado, and Colorado State (the three schools she applied
to).  Claudia is studying pre-nursing and worrying about applying to the official nursing
program. Her roommate is a friend she went to high school with. According to them,
they don’t have any fun and study all the time. She worked as a nanny during and after
high school and saved enough money for a car which she uses to get to her new job...
as a nursery attendant at a church near her dorm.

Lucas is a freshman at Rock Canyon High School, the same school Claudia attended. 
Snowboarding has become his life...last spring he competed at Nationals, winning a
3rd place finish at the competition and placing him 8th in the nation for his age group. 
This year he practices many Fridays, so is learning to balance school and travel. He
has also joined every club he can think of at school (including the Danny Devito fan club,
organic chem club, and ski club…..)

Last summer we built out a Promaster Van for “the boys” winter travel needs. It is
superinsulated and quite comfy.  Sarah and the dogs went one weekend before it
was all done and it was great then--it’s pretty amazing now.

If you want to see (more) pictures of what we are up to (and the van build) you

Love,

Sid the Cat (and the rest of the family, too)
