Highlights of 2023

1) Time with family & friends is so precious! That time heads the highlights. I hope you had quality time with your loved ones last year, too

Bob’s the middle brother – time with brothers Bruce & Bill can’t be beat!

We love visiting family – like my cousin, Adrian & his dear wife, Laura.

When friends/colleagues from the past take time to share with us, we feel so blessed. This is sweet Suzette Stavrianoudakis who taught with me back in the 80’s-90’s.

The opportunity to go to worship with our son,Ty, his wife Monika, her parents, and our granddaughter & her hubby & Mable, one of our 3 our great-granddaughters, was a very special highlight. Ty& Moni visited us in Montana, and we are enjoying the beginning of 2024 with them.

I loved visiting with my college roomie, Sue Booth, who also was a bridesmaid in our 1962 wedding!

Nothing beats the highlight of seeing your 85 year old birthday boy holding his one-day old great- grandson.

But very close to that best highlight is the privilege of praying for 5-yr. old Eli as he experienced brain surgery and had an amazing recovery. Our last picture of him showed a happy 6-year old smiling as he sat on his surgeon’s lap. Praise God! Answered prayers (too numerous to mention) always are highlights!

It’s hard to beat visits from people like Peter Martin (and Victor Salazar) former 1970’s wrestling students of Bob’s. They came from states away to spend time with their old coach. What a treat!!

When our daughter, De, & her hubby showed up from Switzerland surprising us with our 1980-81 AFS son, Christian Zufferey, and his wife, Célia, the surprise was the greatest one imaginable!

A week before that our oldest Swiss grandson, Mike & his wife, Tania, came with friends for a week. Like I said, time with family & friends we’re our greatest highlights.

Mike’s younger brother, Nick, visited with his sweetheart, Céline, also. Goodness, how blessed can you get, huh?

We love having time with friends and family. When will you come to Ennis, MT to visit us?

July is a great time to be in Ennis. Put it on your list, ok? Make it a highlight of your 2024!

What were your 2023 highlights?

    Wonderful highlights!
    Definitely a highlight for me was having you come out to Maryland to be a part of Kayla’s and Gordon’s wedding last January. Can you believe it’s been a year already?

    • I was going backward in my photos and had to stop in May … breakfast time! So the Jan. to Apr. highlights are missing. Otherwise our Trip to your place & the wedding would definitely been on it!!

  2. Happy New Year! I pray your 2024 highlight reel will be just as awesome.
    On a different note…I recently watched “Yellowstone”, which is set in Montana. I thought of you every time they lingered on those majestic mountains that you get to see every day. Montana is beautiful.

  3. Happy New Year to you,Bob, and family. What a great year for you~and I know the challenges too! You are always a ray of sunshine! ☀️ God bless you, Jan!

  4. What a blessing to have had so many family and friends visiting!

  7. Beautiful memories! Thanks for sharing about Eli. I so appreciate all of your prayers. God is so good! Here’s to a wonderful 2024! Blessings dear (((Jan))).

  8. A year with family, friends, and colleagues. New memories fashioned and old ones remembered. Wonderful post Jan. I am sorry for not responding to some of your recent comments. I inadvertently deleted them. I guess that I need to pay better attention when deleting old comments. Blessings to you and Bob.
