Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all

December 2012

Hi Again,

Gee, a year has gone already? Amazing.....they seem to speed up every year.

We are both fine here in Castle Rock, Colorado, a few miles south of Denver. We are beginning our third year in this magnificent home, and continue to make slight modifications to improve it. This year we have added a new water system, redone the counter in the work room, built a separate room in the basement for Frank to continue evaluating web cams, and added a new flagpole.

We continue to do the normal maintenance activities like spraying our trees to protect them from the Colorado Pine Beetle infestation, and do fire mitigation by removing unwanted low shrubs too close to the house.

Other than the above we have enjoyed ourselves and our friends. We have travelled to many rodeos, and taken almost a three month RV trip in the trailer.

Take time this Christmas season to slow down, and focus on what is really important. Slow down to the point you know it is slow…and then slow down more.

Smile... and know that you too are loved.

Anyway, have a great Holiday Season.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

Tom Lott	Frank Harrell
