| We celebrated our New Year on the ice again this year at the New Huskie Hockey Rink in Romeoville, IL. When the ice party was over, we went to Dan and Deb's house to relax and eat some of Dan's food treats.

My sister Mary (Above Left) and my wife Carole joined in the fun, without skates. Mary's son, Jay, his wife, Jenine and her Grandchildren, Jeff, Nick and Lauren were all flying around the ice. |
