Fines, Happy Bucks and Confessions:

• Dave S had a birthday, which he says he tried to hide only to have it discovered at the Christmas party.

• Kim and Mark have had their grand-daughter and having fun.

• Mark put in a happy buck for the holidays, spent with family.

• Anne spent Christmas in Stowe, which she said is lovely. She’s afraid she may be falling in love with Vermont.

• Eric saw the Bills-Packers game, which he said was a good game. He also travelled to Kingston, NY to drop off Kari for another semester.

• Bob Yost’s boys were home for the holidays and it was good to have time together. Nate brought his girlfriend, who is from Texas. This was her first real experience with snow, so Bob did not deny her the joy of shoveling when she offered.

• Leslie was happy to have all 3 kids home at one time over the holidays, the first time since August.

• Dianne told us how they took the kids out of school a day early for the holiday break, so they could all go to Splash Lagoon, before spending the weekend at the cottage.

• Gary had a happy buck because rehearsals for the Murder Mystery Dinner are going well. By the way, he added: “Get your tickets!”
