Peace on Earth 2005

(unedited Mike Kelly Xmas Letter)

Peace on Earth


                                                                                              December, 2005
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year from Barbara & Mike.

   2005 has been a very good year. We made several trips to Raleigh and to the beach at Oak Island. Lindy’s scans continue to be clean and have now been extended to 3 month intervals. We continue to be grateful for the excellent care she is receiving at NC Children’s. Barbara is very involved in fund raising for the NC Children’s Neuroblastoma Research Project.

   We spent a week at the beach at Oak Island in March and 10 days in September with lots of the family. Continuing our hurricane tradition, we observed Ophelia up close.

   In July we traveled to Kentucky for Adam and Zaney Stitzer’s wedding. Barbara met some very nice people at McDonald’s in Grayson, Kentucky where she left her purse on the way home.

   The Robbie, Lynn, Kate, and Lindy visited Myersville in July and again for Thanksgiving. The highlight of both visits was the daily ride on McKenzie, our Morgan pony. Both girls are getting to be very good riders and enthusiastic horsewomen.

   In August, Courtney’s Ultimate team, Ambush, played in a tournament a few miles from here.
Several of the women stayed with us, and the whole team came here one night for dinner. We really enjoyed their visit and the opportunity to get to know them.

   Our big news is that we are planning to relocate to North Carolina. We listed our house in September. I have changed job responsibilities, and can now work from home in Carolina providing I can get a high speed internet connection at home. We installed a cable modem here in Myersville in September, and I am now working from home 2 days a week.

We still have 2 horses, Scott & McKenzie, 2 Goldens, Maggie & Abbey, and 2 cats, Puffy & Agora. This spring we lost Rip Tide, our 30 year old Tennessee Walker. He was a very people oriented horse and we both miss him.

               If you visit the DC area, we would love to see you. Our house is located near Hagerstown, about an hour from Washington, DC and Baltimore. 11908 Woodland Way Rd., Myersville, MD 21773. Phone 301-293-4375. Email: barbandmike@webtv.net or michael.w.kelly@eds.com.

Thank you all for your continuing prayers for Lindy; the girls are our delight.

Peace and love,

-->
Mike and Barbara Kelly
