Yikes! We are thanking our lucky stars that Glen was able to walk away from this! He was making a left turn onto the freeway entrance when a 1 ton utility type truck ran a red light and t-boned him. He is black and blue from where the seat belt held him in and his back and neck are sore, but other than that, he is okay. Amazing! He said the hit was so hard that his shoes were ripped off his feet, the key broke off in the ignition, and his sunglasses were thrown off (and never found!). The really bad thing is the jerk who hit him told the police it was Glen who ran the red light, so now we will have to wait for the insurance companies to battle it out - ugh!!! We have a rental car for now and are hoping we'll get some news this next week on when we can go car shopping. We really loved the Mazda and are hoping to get another one just like it.

Merry Christmas! We hope this message finds everyone enjoying the festivities of the season. As you can see from our picture, San Diego is being blessed with perfect weather for a nice, 70 degree type Christmas! Okay, it's not Figi, but not too shabby for a place we "have" to be! :)
Glen, Penny, and I want to send out our biggest hugs and best wishes to everyone for a glorious Christmas. We are feeling so lucky to be amongst such terrific friends and family at this time of year - the only thing that could make it better is if we were all on a white sandy beach on a tropical island, instead of the beach at our marina! Oh, well! We'll gladly take what we have!
We have tried to contact everyone we could this past month, but we lost a lot of e-mail addresses and phone numbers when our hard drive crashed. If you haven't heard from us, or we haven't heard from you in a while, please be sure to give us a call or e-mail: 760-421-8088 or glenandsally@yahoo.com.
We wish you all lots of peace, joy, and above all, LOVE for Christmas. :) Glen and Sally

Wow! How lucky are we to be out at Catalina in November and wearing shorts?!!! We're feeling pretty spoiled, but mostly just thankful that the weather cooperated with our plans this year. We are hoping that all of you have something special to feel thankful for today, as well!
As we count our many blessings this year, we'd like to share a few special ones... We are so thankful that all three of our loved ones who have been diagnosed with cancer this year have great prognoses. Ralph has had to go through several procedures on his throat, but things are looking good for him. Lorie had to have two lumpectomies and is currently going through daily radiation treatments for breast cancer, but should be good as new when the treatments are done. (And I have to mention that she looked absolutely gorgeous at Ashe and Mitch's wedding !) Most recently, in fact just this past Monday, Dan had to have surgery for prostate cancer. Although he has some major recuperating to do, the surgeon thinks the cancer was all contained within the prostate and that they got it all. Whew! We are so thankful!
As always, we are thankful for all the wonderful friends and family members we have (including the newest little one, Emily!). It has been nice to spend more time with those of you close by this year. For those of you not within visiting distance, please know we send big hugs to you all. We are also thankful we have Penny back full time. We are so thankful that Andy and Arlene took such good care of her and were willing to share joint custody with us while we re-acclimated to life "not at sea," but now it's so nice to wake up to her little, warm, fuzzy body every morning. Glen and I are extremely lucky to have such wonderful lives. We say it every year, but it remains true... and we are thankful
