Merry Christmas from the Blaneys!
Here is an annual update from Cathy and me. We were lucky enough to do some traveling in 2024.
We teamed up with Erin in June for a trip to visit Kathleen in
New York. We rented a car and spent some time on Long Island. Touring
the Hamptons, Sag Harbor, and the North Fork which was a treat for all of
us. Once we got back into the city we still had a few days for
sightseeing, including two shows, a Mets game and a walk across the Brooklyn
Bridge. It was wonderful being with Kathleen!
In September, Cathy and I took our first cruise, an Avalon ship that
took us from Budapest, Hungary to Prague, Czech Republic. It was our
first guided tour, our first cruise and the first time we have traveled with friends
in a very long time. Everything went exceptionally
well. We saw a lot, learned a lot, probably ate too much, and made
many, many great memories.
Shortly after our return Cathy and I joined some old friends and
celebrated our 50th High School Reunion. Both of us truly had a
great time and the evening flew by.
The majority of the remaining summer and fall was spent at the
cottage. Cathy continues to love her e-bike and I continue my
attempt to master the recumbent bike that I received from Bill Early.
As youngsters we use to laugh at these Christmas “letters. Now that we are older we see them as a way to stay in touch with dear friends and relatives like you.
Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New
Year!
Ken & Cathy
