Last March, Randie and JB came to visit us in Texas. Tracy was already here, so we partied down. Mary was here, too...what a time! 

Betsy graduated from the University of West Florida in May. What an exciting time -- she sure worked hard to get that degree. 

Chris, Lori and Robbie took us to the Alaska Zoo. Aren't they a lovely family?? 

Three generations of Bob Brewers. All of them are charmers -- and quite handsome, if I am allowed to say so! 

Our farewell dinner with Chris, Lori, and Robbie in June last year. We had a great time! 

Faith and Bets took me, Karen, downtown for a visit. That traffic was in the middle of the afternoon. But see...we had to get a picture of New York New York! 

Faith with her Grampy last summer in San Angelo. 

Faith, Betsy and I stopped at the Continental Divide and I HAD to get a picture. August, 2004 - Faith was 6. 

Bob and I celebrated our 33rd Anniversary a little early, in August while Betsy was here. 

Betsy & Shon celebrating their 7th Wedding Anniversary with us.

So you New Yorkers don't feel so bad we have very cold weather her as well...yeh, yeh I know we are in Alaska. I must say though, we are warmer here today Jan 22, 04 quite a bit warmer than you guys. :) 

Since we're all sending photos of places. I figured I'd send the photo of my favorite house on the street next to mine. I call it the Milton House because it reminds me of something i once saw. Some famous British Author from the 1600's cottage home. I think it was John Milton who wrote Paradise Lost, but for the life of me I can't remember now. Anyway, this is the best photo i could get because the owners are SUCH privacy freaks that he whole place is surrounded by a giant wall of bushes and there's a security sign that says they'll attack you and hang your body on a stake if you dare enter their property! Okay maybe not hang it...perhaps just drag it behind a chariot like Achilles in Troy. I wish i was able to show you the other side of the house too, it's AMAZING. Well laters for now. I'll put up a photo of my place soon! - luv Danielle :)

Welly Welly Well...

Looks like that now that the holidays have come upon us, squashed us, backed up and ran over us once more before moving on (at least that's how I feel), we brewers are returning to the website! Good! I'm so excited to see everyone really getting into this thing. I was a bit worried for a while there. I thought everyone had just let it die. ANYWAY, great to see it's up and running. Just one thing....

....MOTHER WHY DID I LEARN ABOUT THE NEW CAR OVER THE INTERNET?

I tell you i am ALWAYS the last one to know these things LOL. I knew that poor lady baby beulla was going the way of the dodo, but I didn't know we were getting a new car! What year is it? What color! Who did you buy it from... come on lady, DETAILS! I'm sure your sibs are just as curious as your daughter.... OH and more importantly when do i get to drive it? LOL

Anyway back to my blurb on this blog, Not much going on up here in the frozen tundra of Fredonia. It's cold enough that it took the snow on my shoes almost a half hour to melt off on my sun porch! The thermometer (sp?) in my sun room reads 61 degrees.... hardly a heat wave in my house. Grr argh, ah what can you do when the landlord owns the keys to the thermostat?
If nothing else my blankets have been getting lots of use, as have my wool socks. Well... they're not real wool... Not sure what they are made of.... cloned sheep? Hmmm.... I'll be looking into that.

I agree with you Carl, Uncle Tracy needs to post more photos, but not of Alaska... i want to see more ENGLAND! That pub was AWESOME! 1500! Wow, just think there was NO one over here at that time. Well... no one from Europe.... unless you count the vikings.... God I'm such a history geek. ANYWAY you get my point. That's just incredible, 1500! If you have anymore, please please post away!!!

Anyway must run, LOVE TO ALL!!!

oh and remember when you guys post sign your name at the bottom. I had to guess on a few of them. Not that it was all that hard...mother. *wink*

laters gators
luv
Danielle :)

PICTURE TIME

Hello everyone! Wow, i'm off this site for a month and look at all the activity i missed! I'm even shocked my mother figured out how to post without my coaching! Way to go mom! Thanks to all for the congrats and well wishes over my recent graduation. Golly, my masters... now if only I could get a job. LOL. Anyway, above you'll see a photo of my Creative Writing Class' giant fiction gala held at a local pub, BJs. Sorry for the quality of the photo, that's what you get with old digi cameras and dark bars. I was able to tweak it a bit, but in the end had to make it sephia in order to save it... ah well. If you're looking for me i'm at the bottom of the bar counter pyrimad on the left wearing my 20s hat. My professor Aimee Nezukamatathil is beside me. I read the beginning three pages of my novel, and i guess they were received well... no one booed. LOL.

Congrats Danielle!

Good job on the Masters Danielle! We will have to celebrate sometime. Good luck finding a job. Aunt Dee Dee, sorry to hear about Beula Baby......maybe is was her time. We just celebrated Marissa's 9th Birthday on Jan. 12. The sleepover of 3 friends was fun.........they finally fell asleep around 12:45!!!!!! The cold is back in Rochester....around 20 deg now. Take care everyone. Hey Mike Brewer, I have not seen a post from you in here for a long while! SEE YA!

The Brewers of Fairport

Can anyone do this? I'm trying DC

Not sure how this works, but here it goes. This year is starting out adventurous. Our car
decide to park its self by a group of trees on a slippery morning. Buella Baby (the car) was
considered totaled as she is 11 years old and parts are expensive. So we will be getting an
Olds 88 on Tues. Danielle has graduated with her Master in English and is now on the job search. Everyone have a great New Year.

Hello from Fairport!

Uncle Tracy,

Thanks for the pics. Now I have to figure out how to post mine. I am very impressed. The girls and I made a snowman (and dog) on the weekend and I took pictures. When I get home ( I am at work right now), I will attempt to post the pics. Where are all the other Brewer's out there! Let's get typing!
