KITZI'S KRONICLES' KARD
It's been another banner year for the Bushnell Clan of Oak Park, Illinois and the World and once again time to bring friends and extended family up to date.
I'm established in my almost-chosen field and push, pour, stir and shake with evermore a combination of flair and elan.
Surfing is Hawaii's favorite pastime and I've jumped in head first, regularly visiting the beach and shouting encouragement to waveriders to "hang five."
My relentless ascension toward culinary expertise was showcased with an unbiased testimony from neighbor Joan, who declared after tasting my fare, "This is one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I can ever remember having."
I entered my first novel-writing contest and scored 62 out of a
possible 150 points, earning a ranking in the top 100% of submissions.
Significant Other Kas is 365 days closer to to a Master's Degree. Can wedding bells be far behind?
Mom and Dad are enjoying middle age and contribute to the Illinois State Treasury with regular trips to Harrah's Dockside Casino. On the home front, they created peace on earth by getting twin beds and partitioning the master bedroom.
My sister Amy had perfect attendance in school for the month of October and has had two dates with the same boy. Her guidance counselor advised against applying to any colleges that had a November deadline on the theory that her grades will be even better in the Spring.
Continuing the Bushnell Family tradition of service to our country, brother Alan answered the call to jury duty. He was almost put on a case but the defendant happened to be his asthma doctor. Except for the snow and the difficulty breathing mile-high air, he loves Denver and signed up for an elite group who are on the waiting list to buy season tickets for the Broncos. There's a 12- to 15-year line ahead of him but he calculates that by the time his name comes up, he'll have gotten enough raises to afford a pair of tickets and have found a girlfriend to enjoy them with.
May you all be half as blessed as the Bushnells have been. Seasons Greetings to everyone!
