WALTONS FOR 2009
One of our goals for 2009 was to renew and deepen ties with family and friends. We started our year with a family trip to Puerto Rico. Dan, John-Paul, Dawn, Sharon and Eric shared a lovely condo and enjoyed some down time together.
In April, Sharon combined a music convention with a “Sisters’ Weekend” in the Highlands of North Carolina. Eric met the group again in Atlanta for some fun time with Sharon’s sister Silvia and family in Atlanta. Later, Eric headed to Virginia to help his brother David after his hip replacement surgery.
An Easter celebration at our home with John-Paul, Dawn and her parents and Aunt made that day special. Spring visitors to our home allowed us to reunite with family and friends. Sharon’s cousin Becky Hartley and husband Larry, Linda Prause and Bob, and the Ogawa family from Japan all honored us with some time in Columbus during various week-ends in the early spring and summer.
June found us heading to Minnesota where we spent time with Nancy Gwinn and her mother Sue Felts at their lovely summer cabin, visited with Eric’s grade school friend Dee and husband Norman Spilleth, and spent an evening with graduate school friends, Jean and John White.
During a relaxing two week stay at our favorite summer spot, Lakeside on Lake Erie, we were visited by Sharon’s sister Sue from Oregon who discovered that “time stops at Lakeside.” Daniel and friend Emma and John-Paul also spent a bit of time at Lakeside. Dawn and John-Paul treated the entire group to a lovely reunion brunch in their home.
A November trip to Salt Lake City for Eric’s AMTA convention gave us the opportunity to visit with old friends from all over the country who attend this conference. We ended our 2009 travels with a Thanksgiving trip to see David Walton in Virginia. We all enjoyed a Thanksgiving feast in Williamsburg followed by a short visit with Eric and David’s cousin Ann and her family.
We are now looking forward to the Christmas visit from our family and wishing you all a blessed Christmas and a wonderful 2010. Our dream is to see many more of you in 2010!
We started out the year with a family trip to western Puerto Rico. It was a wonderful time to connect with family in a warm and peaceful place.
Sha
ron performed with her trio "Synchronicity" in a fundraiser for the local food bank. Very successful and well received.
We traveled to Minnesota to visit old friends from long ago (as far back as grade school) of both Sharon and Eric.
Stayed at Nancy's wonderful cabin on a lake.
We visited Dawn and John-Paul with Daniel and his girlfriend Emma and Sharon's sister Sue.
Dawn and John-Paul have a beautiful home near Lake Erie in Lakewood, Ohio.
They can jog along the lake daily.
