SEE DAN PLAY!

Dan is now a certified guitar hero with starpower! Anton would be amazed (NOT).

LOTS OF SNOW!!

Mom and Jim e-mailed me this picture the other day and I thought y'all might like to see how Mom is spending her time. That's right, she is very busy!!

Thanks to All

Thanks to all the Sheas for sending these lovely and amazingly fragrant flowers in my mother's memory. As many of you know, she passed away last week after a long illness. She had been living in a nursing home for the past 15 years, the last few years with very poor quality of life.

We used the flowers for the memorial service on Friday, February 15th, which was held at Summerville Presbyterian Church in Summerville, SC. She was buried in Clinton, SC (where my sister, Libba, lives) on the previous day.
The scripture we chose was Luke 6: 27-36 because Mom never held
any blame or resentment for how her life turned out and seemed to
forgive effortlessly. The choir sang one of her favorites " The Hallelujah Chorus" at the end of the service. Again, thanks for everyone's support during this time. Love, Kate

Hello from Jim and Karen

Obviously this is new territory for us. Therefore, our contrbutions will at first be rather timid. In a while we will be more adventuresome. We kind of reticent about venturing too much personal access to our computer from people other than family. My greatest concern is that big "BLOG" somewhere out there in space, accessing our computer. We store nothing sacred, but don't want to have it screwed up. Now I know that will make everyone laugh, but when you are cautious Karen, that is the way life is.

We are bracing for another wintry blast. This a.m., I am going for groceries, and a few errands, then it will be time to hibernate.

Greetings to all from Pella, Iowa.

Hello from Columbus, Ohio

Hello from Iowa City

Hello, everyone! What a great idea, Maggie. Just a little update on my family: April is 25 and her son, Brennan, is 5. They live in Pella. Brennan is in preschool there and April works at a salon in Knoxville. Roman is 20 and finishing an Arboriculture program at Northeast Iowa Community College. Jon is a senior at West High in Iowa City. Don designs and sells custom cabinetry in Coralville...and I am a nurse in the ICU at Mercy Hospital in Iowa City. Let us know what's up with all of you.

Kristin and I were so excited to have Erin come and visit us over the holidays!

Welcome

Hello everyone! When we were visiting Dan and Kate over Christmas Kate thought it would be a good idea to start a blog for the family. I think I have it set-up, but you may have to be patient with me as we work through any bugs. Anyone that I add as an author can add postings to the site, so please forward any family email address that should be added and I will add them. I don't think there is a limit but I guess we will all learn this process together.

Happy Posting!

Margaret
