Christmas Letter, 2020
Dear Friends and Family:
I distinctly remember (because I just read last year’s
letter) telling you guys to be careful when you wish for something
exciting. TOO MANY of you ignored my
advice, and now look at this year:
We started the year here in the Tri-Cities, with a
tumbleweed invasion that buried semi trucks.
Then Covid came along, followed by riots all over the country, murder
hornets (which started here in Washington), and the mess that is our
election. Fess up! Who was bored?
Who was wishing for excitement?
Deki is doing great!
He is still in remission. They
came home at the beginning of April, and we started doing day trips and
overnights to Seattle. Now the
medication of the day trips can be done here in the Tri-Cities, and our next
scheduled trip to Seattle is February!!
He became an expert on “pokes.”
Drawing blood from you arm is the best.
Accessing the port in his chest is next, that hurts for a longer
time. But the worst is a finger prick
because you actually see your own blood coming out! He doesn’t like long car rides to Seattle,
just the ones going home. He did get to
be team captain for the UW Husky women’s basketball team for a game, and also the
Seattle Sounders. He loved the Boeing
Museum of Flight (so did his brothers).
We were able to reconnect with Jack’s Dad, and discovered
the source of Jack’s sense of humor.
When Covid hit, Marion discovered that sewing really is a
superpower, and made masks until they were more commercially available. Fortunately, Jack was working on a project at
work that was “essential” so he didn’t work from home and Marion hasn’t killed
him. But we pretty much shut down all
activities: ESL, exchange students,
tutoring, etc.
But, praise God, we are so far healthy, and looking forward
to Christmas and getting back to normal.
Jack and Marion
