Hi family,

My news years resolution is to keep in contact with the family more than once a year. I talked to Debbie and her daughter-in-law set us up. Yea for the computer nerds in our family, yes we have a few. Please take the time at least once a month to let us know how and what your family is doing.

Not a lot changes for me - I still live in Berthoud but have a new address. 602 S. 9th Street. Renaze Salon & Day Spa is holding its own. The economy is affecting us a little - people that use to come in for a hair cut every 6 weeks now come 7 or 8 weeks. The real estate market is better in Colorado that some states and living by Fort Collins hasn't hurt, the best place to live. I have quite a few listings but having a hard time selling them right now because of the mortgage crisis and the foreclosures.

Bobbie, Jim, Madison, and Mia live in New York but I will let them tell you what is going on with their family. The same for Dawn.
