Same to you, Jon. Don't forget the "airing of grievances" and "feats of strength"!
 
Hello friends. Lan here. I have been remiss in keeping contact with our friends here. Paul Hilborn has been diligent to keep in contact often. Especially during football season. Love you Paul. I meant to check in on the two year anniversary of Dad's passing (Nov 5th), but as such, life sometimes gets in the way. Not a day goes by without a thought of Dad and some of our best memories. We again had a place set for him at the Thanksgiving table. We still talk of the love and generosity of unknown countless friends of Dad's here. Bo is doing very well at Northeastern University. He has grown into a kind and strong man like his Pa.
I hope everyone is well and you're all able to cherish the comfort and love of family and friends this holiday season. We just stopped in to see Mom so I decided to check in while we're here.
I heard Duncan had some rough scare and so glad you're doing better Duncan.
Just wanted to say hello and that we are doing well and we still think of you all and love you. Peace my friends.
Hi Lan, great to see you post again. Man, where does the time go. Myself like so many here think of Bob often and I have great joy that during the football season that we carry on with our Patriot text's that Bob and I started a few years back. I am so thankful that you, Mom, Max and Bo are doing well. The apple of Bob's eye was Bo and he took such great pleasure speaking of Bo through High School and his future in college and to see that unfold is a joy for many of us here. Heavy hearts are the case during holidays and anniversaries but time also comforts as time passes. Never forgotten but instead fondly remembered. Thinking of Bob makes me smile not only during "Patriot" (football) season;) but also when I carry a knife that I rec'd from him. His memory certainly doesn't fade but continues as time goes on. I will never forget Bob, those things I mentioned will last a lifetime:thumbsup::)

Lan, I didn’t know Bob as well as some folks here, but we did converse occasionally, and exchanged a few knives, as well. I miss seeing that avatar of his pop up around here, so it’s always a welcome sight when you’re kind enough to stop by and post. Happy Holidays to you and your family!
 
Great news, Barrett!:):thumbsup::thumbsup:

GT, she seems excited about it; hopefully that holds up once the baby actually arrives! :confused: :D

Paul, she does have her own eclectic sense of style! :) She likes her “monster boots,” but told me the other day she was sad that her “fox boots” from last year don’t fit any more. :D
