| At step-bro Selwin & Megans woods wedding (Suzanne's dress) |
Happy Solstice!
12/14
While 2014 becomes but memories, we have been trying to be with the light, though it's been a hard year with only the spirit of Clara's mom Alice now to cheer us on. We all miss her a lot and just celebrated her 58th in Marquette recently. So in the spirit of fighting dark and depressing days just about the time you beautiful creatures

get this year end update, we are catching a giant eagle to Puerto Rico for a family holiday with Dan, Rita & Maya!
It's not our first trip of the year though. Clara and I took the Prius on a gorgeous end-of-summer/early Fall tour through Pennsylvania where the leaves were exploding with color, stopping in Pittsburgh, Phili, NYC and
the Delaware Water Gap to visit friends and go to a forest wedding.

Burning through the wood pile already, we are planning for What Next? ...like trying to have a baby, which is proving a little more difficult
than we expected--but please don't send advice. So to cheer up we bought a 22-foot motor boat with Jhon's cousin--please, lots of advice here!
The Mariah Carry is Clara's favorite colors, in excellent shape, and has a cute cabin; we can hardly wait for Spring to see if we have what it

takes to become boat people.
Clara's organization, Detroit Youth Volume is moving forward as a non profit
now with a Board and all that, so with her 20 students for private lessons, subbing,
concerts she's kinda becoming a force to be reckoned with in our changing city.
Check it out and help support the kids! (Alternative Giving gift cards with the
kids pics + snowflakes on them are available: “In your honor, I gave the gift of
music by donating to Detroit Youth Volume!”)
Meanwhile JC's home repair gigs are plenty and interspersed with our own home improvements, along with band practice (Collapse is only writing and
recording while singer Ash is in Florida for 4 more months). The dogs are still
totally spoiled and get tucked in on the couch every night. It was a decent pear harvest this year and next we're going to expand the garden, and the whole back yard actually. So, a little update to say hey have an awesome
new year and enjoy the wedding pics we sent out for you.
Love!
Clara & Hone A.
