Sunshine Ski Angel Mountian Lift
Hello and long time no see. I know it is busy for everyone now and I am no exception. We just got back this weekend from my companies Christmas Party at Sunshine Villiage Ski area in Banff, Alberta. We had a great time and the weather was wonderful. McKenna kept saying she wanted to go 'skiing' so we took her up the hill on a chair lift. She loved it, Donna was not to thrilled. She sat still the whole way up and handled it like a trooper. She has been telling everyone today that she went skiing, well, as far as she knows she was.
So as I said I have an announcement to make about the world famous Peterson Family Christmas letter in it's twelfth big year. No, we have not folded up shop and shipped the jobs out to Indonesia like so many US and Canadian Corporations have. No way baby, this one will stay in North America(not Mexico). We have gone high tech. This year we will not be sending a paper copy of our letter out in the snail mail. We have put our letter up on that thing that Al Gore invented, the intranet. That's right, no paper trail. Now, I am one of those old school guys who wants to be able to feel and smell the letter, but the way postage rates have gone and how most all of you have a computer now, you can read it online. Plus with the intranet I can add things that I can't on paper, like video. So it is kinda like when a newspaper tries to get you to subscribe to their online edition so they can give you extras. Well with the Peterson Family Christmas Letter there is no subscription fee, except your friendship.
So if you think you are old school also we will be providing a copy in PDF form in an email. So all you need is Adobe Acrobat and you can open it and print it yourself. How's that sound? Cool? I hope so. We are doing this on a trial basis and if YOU the loyal reader of the Peterson Family Letter wish to go back to the old ways, let your voice be heard and we will consider it. Or just send you the letter so you can stop whining.
So here it is, CLICK HERE TO ENJOY THE PETERSON FAMILY CHIRSTMAS LETTER ONLINE.
If you are old school and want a PDF form of the letter SEND ME AN EMAIL.
If you are new to the Peterson Family Christmas Letter and want to see what all the hype is about, CLICK HERE to read all the old letters. I am in the process of putting the pictures up so right now most of them are just words, but isn't that what makes the letter the best in the business? Really? ENJOY!!
On a sad note...Farley is in his last days. Next week we are going to have to put him down. It has been a rough decision but it has to be done. He is suffering. His heart is enlarged, about 6 or 7 times too big and he has a hard time breathing. He sometimes blacks out when he is running or out on a walk. We have been giving him meds to help but they have made him a bit nutty plus he does not have control of all is functions all the time. The worst of it he has taken to biting McKenna, unprovoked. So we will be losing a member of the family this holiday season and we will all miss him. McKenna does not quite understand what is going to happen but we will help her get through this. Donna is taking this the hardest not being able to talk about him without shedding a few tears. Farley has been a great pet and will sorely be missed. The funniest thing he ever did was bite Robyn Young in the butt. I don't know why but he did, and we all laughed a lot. Hauser thought that was the funniest thing ever.
Anyway, Farley J Stipe, RIP.
