Catching Up Part 2


We had a birthday celebration with Amélie and Amah






Enojoying the lights in Tours with Denise and Jack



There has been no snow in Amboise this year, but when we arrived in Michigan at our home, it was quite a shock.







We took a trip while in the States to Iowa to see Ron's family.  The hometown is so small with only 1200 that Amboise is a metropolis by comparison with 12,000 residents.  In Manson Iowa the convenience store is below.

We visited a memorial park to veterans where Ron's father, Weldon, and his 3 brothers are all honored.





Here are shots of the Manson Country Club






There are 2 restaurants in town, Big Beve's and the Pizza Ranch.


There is only one traffic light in the entire county.


Ron with Uncle Don, the only surviving brother of his parents generation.


The chandelier made of Pepsi bottles in the restaurant.


Then it was off to NY to see Barbara's brother, Howard, and his wife, Sara.  Here's a shot from Toys R Us in Time Square.



We had a chance to wish Judy O'Neill well in her upcoming retirement.



Visiting with nephew John on Christmas.

Then it was back to La France.
