No time for photos this year, We made the big move from La Jolla!!!
After 18 years we left La Jolla and the big house near the sea,
Settled in suburban Rancho Bernardo where the "old folks" tend to be.
The sun shines more and the population is less,
The living is low key and--hopefully, less stress.
However, we still drive into our office each day.
And sell houses and loans to bring home the pay!
We started over in our business just three years ago.
So we won't see retirement for a long time, you know.
Richard had to have bypass surgery last spring,
But thankfully recouped and was soon ready for anything.
In the middle of moving and with work, too.
It was a difficult time but the children helped us through.
Maria and Mark did more than we can tell,
Carried on in the business and did it very well.
Jimmy came home when we called and left all his fun,
Gave up his studies and such till the moving was done.

| Craig and Kristi in Chicago in 88 |
Linda and Gary Pulsipher and their children,t00,
Still, live in Chicago till dental school's through.
Our trip this year was Thanksgiving with them--
Chicago was warm and the trip was a gem!
Played with Kristi and Craig in the neighborhood park
And from Sears Tower saw the lights of Chicago after dark!
So we have fun with Matthew and Michael often when they come to play.
John, the CPA is still with Pear, Marwick and Main
And he lives on the coast in El Segundo, not far by train!
His daughter Meagan comes on weekends to RB
To visit us and the clubhouse--swimming you see.
Jimmy is busy schooling in Business at the "Y"
Still loves skiing and girls and is a popular guy!
We're thankful so much for these children we love,
And the five special grandchildren sent from heaven above.
Christmas will be in our new home this year--
Not in shape for skiing at Park City, we fear--
But we're well and thankful for our new little place,
Come over and see us, we still have extra space!
Now to you and yours and your family so fine,
We wish Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in 1989!
