Cam & Jeri’s Year In Review

2001

 

Warmest holiday greetings to family and friends.  We thank God daily for you and ask Him to be with each of you in all your activities.

 

What a year 2001 has been.  The events of September 11 and the aftermath bring both sadness and rejoicing.  Sadness for the families and friends affected by those events.  Rejoicing to know that we are that much closer to Jesus’ return and living forever with Him.

 

In our personal lives 2001 has been a busy year as well.   We both still have our jobs for which we are thankful.   Cam has had several shutdown days and weeks since the beginning of summer.   Jeri had some unscheduled time off when her employer took a week off in June for his children’s graduations and another week off in October for some other business.

 

During the first week of April we went to Newport Oregon for our 6th anniversary.  While there we visited the Oregon Coast Aquarium and walked through the new under water exhibit that was formerly "Kieko the Killer Whales’ " home.  Jeri especially loved the Jelly Fish exhibit.

 

Later in April Cam went to visit his uncle Charles in Beloit, Kansas.  While there he also visited his grandfather Mason who had his 100th birthday in February.

 

In May, Jeri hosted a tea party in the backyard for her work colleagues.  She had a great time setting it up.  Cam even had the garden railroad running to entertain the guests.

 

July was a busy time for Jeri and her dad they worked on our pond.  It had been leaking because seal around the drain had failed.  Unfortunately, though the pond leak was fixed there is still a leak in the waterfall.  Cam worked out a temporary bypass for the waterfall until that can be repaired next spring.

 

In August we went to British Columbia Canada for the annual Adventist amateur radio get-together at Camp Hope.   This year the trip included a bus tour of Vancouver BC.  We really enjoyed a visit to Queen Elizabeth Park in south Vancouver. (Highly recommended)

 

October brought Jeri’s parent’s 50th anniversary.  She and her brothers planned an open house in Roseburg.  Around 125 family and friends attended. 

 

For Thanksgiving, we stuck with plans made since the middle of the summer and took a week’s vacation in Florida.  Besides visiting Walt Disney World we also went to Cypress Gardens and Trainland, which featured a indoor large G-Scale model train layout.

 

We are thankful for God’s love, our family and our friends.  During this holiday season may all of you be with the ones you love and may all of you have a wonderful holiday and great new year!

 

Love,

Cam & Jeri
