We actually forgot to write the 2024 newsletter, so we're writing it today in December 2025.  I guess we're getting really old.  Looking back on the year it was another good year. The Palis still migrate back and forth from Hawaii and we did a couple of road trips.  We added another great grand child via our granddaughter Meaghan. Raegan is the newest one.  Our grandson Reed has become a world traveler going to Korea, Italy, Vietnam and Japan. His brother Cole continues his education at Cal Poly SLO. Leaving their parents Pat and Tammy as empty nesters. Nechia is still being the greatest Nana of all times with her four grandchildren. A photo below shows three generations (Nechia, Heather, and Rilynn) standing in front ot the San Ramon house I bought in 1971 where Nechia walked across the street to Neil Armstrong Elementary School, then her daughter walked across the same street for her first day of Kindergarten and then Rilynn who did the same trek in 2024. Pat's brother Mickey turned 80 and is still going strong.  We had one of our best trips to Disneyland.  Pat, Ali, Tammy, Nechia, and their childhood friends (and my extra daughters) Dana and Denise had a day of extreme laughter and fun.  Even got to squeeze in my cousin Candi too. Thanksgiving got to spend time with Ali's sisters: Denise, Dallas, and Jennifer. Pat continues to ski, hike, and run.  Ali is dealing with a Parkinson minor problem but dealing with it in a positive way.  Love our friends and family and hope everyone's coming year will be full fun, laughter, good health, and lots of shared love.  Happy New Year.
