Thanks to all of you for the encouraging, comforting, and positive comments. We appreciate your thoughts and sentiments. It’s the New Year, and we have high hopes for the future year.

Bruce had a very positive checkup today. He is on the proper antibiotic, is feeling better, and looking better, too. It’s just a matter of time, and he will be back to his old self. His stamina is limited, but he is improving daily.  He will be taking it slow and easy as we move into the new year.

We wish you all the very best in the New Year – a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!

Thank you for your faithful following of the blog! It’s our way of keeping in touch with old friends, scattered from one end of the west coast – and beyond – to the other end, and making new friends along the way! Friends are what makes what we do so fulfilling. Though not all of your are with us in person at any one time, we take your encouragement, stories, and spirit with us – passing it on to others who need a good friend to look up when they get your way.

Please keep in touch!  We love hearing from you all.

Stand by! There are still plenty of stories of DESERT VENTURE and the Places We Go!

Our warmest wishes and New Year hugs to you all!   A&B
