We enjoyed a warm dry September in 2013 with our Krompir Society friends and visitors from Colorado. The Kravi Ball celebrated the return of the cows from summer pastures in the Julian Alps above Bohinj. We met our Gaspari friends at the central market and planned a round of golf at Aviano.
We enjoyed our summer in the Rockies with many friends. Ann's best friend from St Mary's Academy, Donna and her husband Jim visited us and we enjoyed a sunny evening on the deck talking about our previous fall's tour of Slovenia, Austria and Bavaria.
We visited southern California and saw friends and relatives from Long Beach to Granada Hills and Santa Barbara in early January. Phoenix is 2 and growing fast. Long-time friends Al and Cynthia Muir showed us Long Beach and a favorite New Port Beach restaurant. Then we stayed in Granada Hills and visited Aunt Norma Hoel and her family and cousins Mark and family. Next we wet to see grandson Phoenix and Lisa in Santa Barbara and thoroughly enjoyed the warm sunny southern California weather.
