About Me	Christmas 2013 Greetings from the Bakers. We wish you and your family a very merry Christmas. We look back over this past year with a lot of joy and gratitude. Our daughter, Amy, who had lived with us for two years while we helped her deal with her Lupus, bought a home about four miles from us this past spring. A small house with a big yard is what she wanted, and she found one that fit the bill. We were able to visit our son, Dan, and his family near Dearborn, MI, in July and November.

I had cataract surgery this month. Other than that, we are doing well physically. I played a lot of tennis this summer and try to get on the racquetball court regularly. So we feel very blessed and thankful. We look forward to what these next years will hold, confident that God is not through with us yet. We’re grateful for your friendship and pray that 20...(read more)
