Finally...another posting

To all our followers...finally another post. January was a very busy month for the folks at Merle's Place. The month started off with our return from the Guatamala trip with the Gladney Center..Please visit the Stanhope Society for a complete update on that trip as posted by our very active Blogger...Katherine McKenna.

Everyone in the McKenna household had a busy month with school gearing back up as well as Mark and Mary Sue's activities but what really gets everyone's attention is the new Season of 24 with Jack Bauer...in fact we are hooked and are starting to go back and view all the earlier seasons that we missed..I think we are now up to Season 3.

Mary Sue is knee deep in producing the weekly news for the Ursuline academy annual Fund raising event..this year's Mardi Gras is scheduled for 21 February....Mary Sue is still running 5-6 miles 3 times a week as well as playing 2-3 times a week on a competitive tennis team....just thinking about it could wear you out.

Katherine is back at crew practice which is many mornings at 6:00 AM....She is also going to the YMCA with Dad from time to time and of course 2-3 hours of home work each night.

Bailey is very active eating and ........ and eating and ..........and loving everyone that she comes in contact with..

Mark is trying to stay in shape and still takes periodic business trips..

We are all looking forward to spring break and a trip to Montana and upon our return home we should be close to Spring type weather..

Well thats' it for now....
