View this email in your browser Season's Greetings, I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the end of 2023.  This year flew by for us. November came and went, and was another busy month for our family.  As many of you know from past First Friday updates, we have a small storm-water pond behind our house.  Each winter, when it freezes, we like to  ice skate.  Slowly but surely, the kids have been improving each year.  This year, we signed them up for ice skating lessons before getting to the stage in the winter when our pond is frozen.  They've been going once a week and have each made great progress.   Might we have a hockey player in the family?  Time will tell. We had a nice Thanksgiving.  I took a spin class at our athletic club, then Peter and I went swimming.  I typically don't make a turkey and this year was no exception.  Everyone in our family picked out one food we would eat.  Sarah - cranberry sauce, Peter - cornbread, Sandy - baked chicken and spaghetti, and Brian - cannoli pie.  Sandy's parents visited from Michigan, and we all enjoyed the day and weekend. The other highlights of the month included the usual - swim lessons, attending birthday parties, our local fire truck parade, visiting the children's museum, and of course - the first round of children's sickness for the season. From the Caribbean to Europe to Trans-Atlantic Cruises, 2023 was another fantastic year for helping you plan your travel adventures.  There isn't too much time to reflect, as January begins what is typically a busy time of year for travel agents.  After the holidays, many people get antsy and begin planning their next journey.  Please don't hesitate to let me know how I can help! In closing, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and an amazing 2024. Have a great weekend, Brian Contact Today See previous monthly emails here.
