Friends and Family;

We may have thought 2020 was in the past along with Covid, but it seems there's still loads to overcome!
As retirees we still love to travel so we're very glad much of the US was reopened but we are planning again for our overseas trip, third time's the charm. We went to Disney early in the year while the crowds were restricted, magical! Then we went again in October with our friend Marian and her sister, still magical!

We were lucky to have Heather's Dad and Janet (step-mom) visit in April, they were hoping to find warmer weather and friends, sadly the weather didn't fully cooperate but the friends did. Around this time things started reopening up at our theatre and we were back to ushering with limited audiences and by the fall Broadway was Back. Likewise our local University re-opened for in-person classes and Heather went back to teaching knitting and Bruce took some interesting classes on Gospels, Magic Tricks, and Space Travel (not together).

We got in an RV trip with visits to Heather's cousin and aunt in Oklahoma then on to Colorado to see our friend Jan. The heat turned us away from our planned route to Zion and Grand Canyon NPs but we diverted to Glacier NP for a great time and better weather. We made several stops visiting pastors and friends in Illinois and Pennsylvania then up to Acadia NP, love it. As we turned south to SC we stopped in Albany, NY to see more of Heather's family and then a stop in Hershey Park, PA.

Can you believe we managed to add a Disney cruise to the Bahamas (no stopping please). The ship was about 25 percent capacity. But, because we can't get enough of Florida we headed back to the Space Coast area for Bruce's pilot training class reunion with a great turn out of graduates. We took in the Kennedy Space Center (a must see), an airboat ride, and an airshow with the Thunderbirds, all awesome!

As we closed out this year's letter we headed up to VA for Thanksgiving dinner with Heather's sister and family, the Keating's and her Dad and Janet. This was payback at its finest since they all traveled to our place in 2019 before the word Covid was added to our daily vocabulary.

Before you know it, it will be 2022, wonder what awaits us there? We hope and pray for more improvements in handling pandemics and our citizens. If you're ever in the South Carolina area be sure to give us a call, we have plenty of room. God bless!

Have a Blessed Christmas and Joyful New Year

Heather and Bruce
