Christmas at Irene's
Well here we are at my house. It was mostly about the COWBOYS here at my house and it was not a very happy one after the game. We didn't even get a pic of Roper , Sylvia and Rich, and Gary and I cause the game took over Christmas. The couple below is my dads brother Lewis , and wife Aurora from Abilene.

Sylvia is Retired!
Sylvia is officially retired.
Friday, we enjoyed a retirement celebration at Lockheed Martin. We met all of Sylvia's co-workers and ate lots of good food. What a send off she had...yesterday was also the first flight of the F35 Joint Strike Fighter that Lockheed is building. Rudy and Eddie, you would have loved it, it was awesome. We enjoyed it....we were so lucky to have been there for that. We got together at Rita's house yesterday evening and just visited.(well we ate again!) Irene has some pictures she will probably put up when she returns to Abilene. Happy Retirement to Sylvia!

ROPER
Here is Roper last nite in Haskell. He was elected Vice-Pres. of the FFA Double Mountain District. (which includes towns from around the area, Haskell, Stamford, Rotan..etc) He is Sec. of his local chapter. Mom met me in Haskell to see him do his speech, as u see him doing in the second pic. Oh yes the short blonde is Phillip Newtons daughter, from Haskell. Mrs. Newtons grandaughter, and one more girl is Keith Rowans daughter from O'Brien.
The election included an interview, a quiz , and then the speech. The girl who won pres. beat him in the quiz and interview, He beat her in the popularity vote. The interviews were done by people from Texas Tech. The jackets really look good when they are all together. So much for my " shy" Roper. FFA gives out over a million dollars a year in scholarships.....that's our goal. Oh yes : FFA stands for FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA ---But it's really more about leadership skills.

Light to Unite
Did you know that 1 out of 5 people who are HIV infected are Hispanic?
Today, Bristol-Myers Squibb, the pharmaceutical monolith that charges nearly $1,000 for a 30 day supply of one of its HIV/AIDS medications, is donating $1 to the National AIDS Fund for each person who simply visits their website and "virtually lights a candle." The tally is near 900,000 now.
Please take a minute to "light a candle": www.lighttounite.com

SUPERBOWL CHAMPION
Hello everyone! Well, I realize the last time I put something in was the beginning of football season. Here is the picture of the end...Joey's Bantam Seminole team won the superbowl on Dec 2nd. They outscored their opponents 535-26 for the season. Joey was part of a great offensive line! This pic shows the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...even though it's Martinelli's!
