Holiday hello 2024

In the year of our Lord two thousand  two four

We’ve now landed in the Holiday corridor

I suspect what we offer could be written much better

But you get what you get-this here holiday letter.

When the year started out of course it was snowing

Adults they were working-grandchildren  were growing

Jon and his family grace the shores of Port Huron

Surviving schedules they can barely endure on

Though they’re slaving like elves there’s no singing and dancing

For Matt and Breanna who live down in Lansing

It’s Black Friday soon and nobody will skip it

If you ordered from amazon they just might have shipped it. 

Caleb’s “the cops” but he can be trusted

But don’t break the law  you will get busted

Amanda’s the medic we hope you’re not needing

Because you fell down  bones broken or bleeding

Mel’s still a smile at the big store named Meijer 

Maybe next year it’s part time or retire?

Jim. Does all he can to avoid all that working 

After a while you get good at shirking

Leia and Rowan give us laughter and screams

They’re changing so fast each day as it seems

Every day they move faster every night they grow tall

It won’t be so long- they’ll out smart us all

Grandpa Bill passed away it’s hard when folks die

He probably enjoys the bus barn in the sky

All those gone before us are still sorely missed

Try to love one another  we’re all on the list

Darin came out for a short but nice visit

It’s not a short ride on a Harley now is it?

Went to Mackinac Island  t’was a good afternoon

We hope to see more folks at least some time soon

The summer went by didn’t do much that’s risky 

But survived fairly well on duct tape and whiskey 

Life speeds on by when you do this and do that

Age gracefully?  Oh come now just screw that

The fall brought us pumpkins and cider and doughnuts

We visit the orchard  and pretty much go nuts

More details specific? I just don’t recall 

Winter is here and soon snow will fall 

You want to know more of our lives? Take a look

On Tik tok  or Twitter or scroll on Facebook

Well you’ve read long enough so it’s time to go

Take a look at the press  we’d saved down below

 

Sometimes these memories seem not long ago

But gaze in the mirror  and then you will know

Life’s not all home runs touchdowns  slap shot goals and swishes

Yet we hope  ’25  grants most of your wishes

May you sail on smooth waters with sunshine above you 

Live well and dream big and know that we love you
