CONNECT Group Christmas 2010

Catching up December 2010

Wow!

It has been a while since I last updated. I guess with Facebook and Twitter, blogs are last years news. But I know there are still a few people who check, so here is the latest.

• Everyone coming home for Christmas! Can't wait to see them all again, been too long. Tyler and Rachel arrive on the 23rd, with Brandon and Julie arriving the next day. Corey is still around Newark so we see him about once per week
• Have not traveled much since October, just staying busy with work and calling Asia and Europe instead of traveling there. OK with me, I am going to count, but I think I have traveled at least 100 days for work in 2010
• Angela is in full Christmas mode. She is baking up a storm for our CONNECT Group Christmas party this Saturday, look for pictures next week. I have been helping with a new style chocolate bow for her cakes that is much easier to make and looks great.
• Was going to trademark the name "Cakerella" for her today, but found out someone else already has it. That's Ok, she is still my Cakerella
• Took 1/2 day vacation yesterday and went to an auction for model trains. It started at 9 AM, I stayed till noon, went to work, went back to the auction at 7 PM stayed an hour and there were still over 200 items left! There were over 1,500 items all together, and 90% of it was from 1 person!!! He and his wife were actually at the auction, so I talked to him and he said he still has another 400 to 500 items, he didn't want to sell yet.
• I bought a Ohio State Train set that I did not have for about 50% of what I would have paid retail. It was just really fun just looking at all the train stuff!!!!

That's all for now, more to come by the end of the month. Merry Christmas!!
