December 27 - January 2, 2011

The world seemed quiet and still on the first day of January

But there were also signs of heavy weather from weeks gone by:

New Look RMC

Renovations that began last summer during the Connections program are nearing completion. With a refreshed exterior and interior, the RMC, which also includes Indralaya's business office, looks like it is ready for another thirty five years of service.

Leonie and I brought up most of our belongings on New Year’s Eve and moved everything into the cabin on January 1 - just in time for the start of the new year. There are still a couple weeks to go before we’ll move in ourselves.

Steve Murphy came up to help us with the NY’s day move. Leonie’s sister Melanie, her friend Jim, as well as Tim Hulley and his friend Meg, all dropped by during the day too. Steve, Tim and I all share the same birthday - May 14 - as does Carol Bee. We half expected to see her as well!

Steve, Minor, Tim

Happy New Year One and All!
