咪咪，给你贴个美国鬼子来MAIL。。
Such a surprise and highlight to hear from you last week. Your email arrived at a time when I was out of town and not in a position to answer and then upon getting home Charles arrived home from school and we had a very busy weekend. I wanted to wait until I could give you a thoughtful response.
First of all “thank you” for taking the time to write. And you are correct, the Christmas & holiday season is a great time to think about old friends and reach out to those you’ve not communicated with for quite some time.
I really enjoyed the pictures of your daughter. She is so cute and does not look “naughty” at all. Now she does look like she enjoys having a lot of fun. Some of her facial expressions were so cute. And she has certainly grown. It is good to hear that both you and your husband seem to be doing well with your jobs.
Our life stays very busy. Charles is now in his 4th Year of college and continues to do very well. Because he needed to get some more math to perhaps pursue graduate school, he has decided to go to a 5th year of undergraduate school, so he’ll not officially graduate until May 2011. He is still making very good grades, still very happy with the same girlfriend and still has a full head of very blond hair. Over the next few months he is really going to decide what to do after he graduates as now he is considering many options. It makes him a bit nervous.
Ruth is in her 3rd year at the University of Colorado. She got home last Wednesday. She is also doing well studying in the business school. She will start thinking about her postgraduate plans in the next few months, but she now wants to go live in a big city like New York and maybe work for a nonprofit organization. She did that as an intern last summer and really enjoyed it.
Eileen is doing a lot of things. A great deal of the past year was spent in remodeling our home; she designed all the changes. She also has been purchasing some property that she is redesigning & fixing up so we can rent to others. She also is doing a lot of work in fundraising for some charity organizations.
I also stay busy working with a few little companies that I have invested money into. My work with them is mainly consulting. I do this together with a lot of volunteer work serving on the International Board of Directors of a disease research organization called the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. I’ve been very involved for this for more than 10 years, but the amount of work & involvement increased a great deal in the past year.
We stay busy a great deal spending some time visiting Charles & Ruth at college and then some time just traveling for fun. We took a trip to Switzerland & Italy a couple of months ago to go hiking in the Alps. That was a whole lot of fun. And then just spend a lot of time enjoying family and friends.
Like in the US is still very interesting with the tough economy. Things have still not recovered to the way they used to be. And all of this debate on what to do with the United States health care system has created a lot of debate. A great deal of changes have occurred over the last year with President Obama.
This gives you some of the highlights. And thank you again for taking the time to keep in touch. It was very nice to hear from you and let’s make sure we do not lose touch.
Take care,
Mike
PS: Do you have any trips planned to the United States? I still hope you can make the journey one day.
