Here is what's up. Want to Add a Message?
Christmas cards are coming in much faster than they are going out. I may have to break down and write a "Christmas letter" telling all to all. (All of what?, she asks.) Not much dramatic is happening in our lives. I guess that's good. . .

Well, our little love is asleep in the big chair in the living room - she'll be taking the SAT in the morning, so we're saving our celebration till then.
I would say something mushy here, but I know she knows how great I think (I know) she is! So I'll just throw in some more Happy Birthday Betsy!!!

Welcome home, Scott, but too bad you had to miss BETSY'S BIRTHDAY! Happy 17th birthday, Betsy. Celebrate in style. I cannot wait to see you on your college tour. All I can say is "pick here!, pick here!" Tell us all about YOU, now that you are practically an adult. And have a wonderful birthday. Love from

Home sweet home. Liss and I made it home on the red-eye without any problems. I promptly went home and took a nap, since I didn't get much sleep on the plane. Thanks to all for a wonderful trip to the great northwest, including Steve and Jeff, Mona and Dave and kids, Pat and Ken, Mark F, and the Seattle Seahawks.

Hello Greg: It's good to hear from you. Yes, yours is the lucky number. Watch for your prize which will be delivered by . . reindeer, shortly before the end of the year.
Your Thanksgiving dinner sounds wonderful. I would like to have been there. I'm sure there was wonderful food, and good conversation.
Keep checking in when you feel like it. It's great to hear from the various branches of this family tree.

Well we had a lovely Thanksgiving as well - sat down with several Laynes and Styloses and feasted like Kings! And to top it off, Aunt Pat sent us home with half a fridge worth of leftovers! How lucky can you get?
Happy Birthday to the wonderful (((Jillian)))!!!

Happy Thanksgiving from the SNOWY East. Yes, several inches on the ground...which kind Jessamyn has shoveled off the driveway. We have already eaten, cleaned up, and now to go watch the fire and play a game. I am thankful for you all.
Paula

And Happy Thanksgiving from the North Carolina Mountains. We will be going for 3:00 o'clock dinner with friends. It's nice to only be traveling a mile away. The weather here, however, is sunny and not too cold (yet) but the pictures of the traveling hordes on the highways and in the airports make staying home something to be thankful for.
Ramona
Thursday, November 24, 2005 at 09:53:16 (PST)
Happy Thanksgiving from Chicago! I hope everyone's turkey is as good as ours promises to be. It's been a very relaxing and fun trip so far for me. I'll be headed back to Seattle early Saturday.....

In answer to your question Mona, they did see the Harry Potter movie. They said it was "good" (3 stars out of 4).

I'm happy to announce that Melissa arrived safe and sound in Puget Sound. Well, near it anyway. She and Jeff are out at a movie, and when they return they will have the run of the house, as I will be in Minnesota/Chicago for a week. Scott arrives Thursday, with any luck. §
Steve
Saturday, November 19, 2005 at 18:06:26 (PST)
Things are pretty quiet, dark, cool and wet here in Seattle. We are looking forward to the brightness and warmth of Scott and Melissa. Unfortunately, I leave on the day that Melissa gets here (Saturday) and will be gone for a week. It will be here job to keep Lucky and Jeff company. I think Scott, Jeff and Melissa will be having Thanksgiving with the Laynes in Gig Harbor this year. I'll be having Thanksgiving in Chicago, where instead of being cool, dark and wet it will be cold, dark and wet.
All reports from Ana in France are positive. She is planning to finish the year there. She assures me that she is NOT the one causing all the trouble over there.
I hope all is happy and calm out there in Stylosland. §
Steve
Wednesday, November 16, 2005 at 08:29:41 (PST)
Good for you, Scottie, glad to know you are out there having fun.

I was on the cape for the weekend. It was gawjis. Doug and Steph are doing well, except for Doug's back which went out last week.
I hope Ana and Miranda had happy birthdays. Liss and I are both going to Seattle soon....Liss goes next saturday and I go on Thanksgiving, then we both come home a week later. Should be a fun trip.
Scott
Monday, November 14, 2005 at 05:17:35 (PST)
What a glorious day it was today. Jess is here writing a term paper. Melinda and Mark have gone to Northampton for the day. I enjoyed the sunshine. What did you do?
Paula (again)
Saturday, November 12, 2005 at 17:53:45 (PST)
Welcome, Miranda. Now, tell us all about YOU!
Paula
Friday, November 11, 2005 at 14:15:30 (PST)
Yay!! She made it! Welcome to the wonderful world wide web, darling daughter! (and my cell phone coverage is down right now, in case you're trying to reach me - I've been trying to reach you!)
mona
Friday, November 11, 2005 at 11:09:49 (PST)
Thank you for the birthday congrats! I just got my internet installed, and thanks to mom for the computer, I can now keep in touch! So happy belated birthday Ana!
Miranda
Friday, November 11, 2005 at 11:05:10 (PST)
Yes, a very Happy Birthday to Miranda and Ana! Hard to believe that Miranda is twenty-one! Let's see, I guess we should all take you out for a drink. That seems to be the only legal significance anymore. And Ana is 14! No longer a newbee teen. We are all proud to have both of your in our family and proud of the wisdom that you both show and share at such young ages....§

Monday, November 07, 2005 at 07:45:40 (PST)

Happy Birthday(s) to two wonderful neices, so many miles apart. Both are embarking on new adventures. I hope Miranda and Ana each have (okay, Ana's is half over!) fun-filled birthdays, with lots of merriment. Love from your Auntie,
Paulala
Monday, November 07, 2005 at 03:21:58 (PST)
Happy birthday miranda and Ana. Ana, I was going to get you a demi-john but I didn't know what color you would like.
Jessamyn
Monday, November 07, 2005 at 03:01:16 (PST)
Seems that a lot of people, other than Steve, have trouble getting through. Jerome and Vaness'a phone are often off, and Ana does not always have hers handy, but we are certainly "in touch"!
We celebrated Ana's Birthday last night, with good dinner and a Black Forest Cake for desert. Ana got enough ear rings to fill all her ear piercings, enough rations to hold her over in the dorm for at least a few days, and enough videos to keep her busy for the vacation (... which is now over ... ).
Today we will see her again, and all together wish the soon to be newly-wed Miranda a wonderful celebration of her own!
Mark, Jerome, Vanessa and Ana
Monday, November 07, 2005 at 00:52:29 (PST)
Thanks for the positive reinforcement, Mona. I took a few pictures, but like in India while I was there I felt funny pulling out the camera. Then when I get back I wish I had.
mark Allan
Sunday, November 06, 2005 at 17:40:50 (PST)
To those of you in France: we have been trying to reach you but keep getting wrong numbers. Some answered in French and some in English, but nome of them were you! Just know that we're thingking about you and will try to reach you by phone some other time.
Ramona
Sunday, November 06, 2005 at 11:41:21 (PST)
That was great! Did you take pictures?
mona
Sunday, November 06, 2005 at 11:26:35 (PST)
Thank you for the birthday wishes! It was a great day. I spent it with the family. First Paula, Melinda and I went to the Museum of Fine Arts and saw a major exhibit of Ansel Adams. We also had lunch in their cafe. Oh, I left out taking Melinda's cats the the vet. But the weather was so nice even that was a pleasure.
Jess joined us later in Acton after her day at another storytelling gathering. They made me a wonderful dinner culminating in a fruit torte "cake." I was glad to be with such interesting, warm people, and to think they were my family...
As for Lesotho. It was great. The country is mountainous (the airport is at 5,000 feet) and looks a little like the high plateau of the American southwest. We went out into the countryside and visited local district health care sites. The people were great, though largely poor subsistence farmers, and the fact that they speak English made it so much easier and immediate. I won't bother you re the consulting part, but it went well and I clearly was able to contribute in a useful way. If we can get some Keollogg Foundation money, I expect that I will be going back.
Best to all the Stylos and related people--I will try to be better re my participation.

Yeah, Mark ... and Mark....What's up with that???? Happy Birthday, anyway, Mr. Mark. Seattle is celebrating your birthday with the clear indication that winter is here to stay. Rain, rain, rain. And nothing in the forecast but more rain. And of course, more dark. So, I hope it is less gloomy in Acton and Boston!!! §
Steve
Saturday, November 05, 2005 at 09:16:31 (PST)
Hey! Why doesn't Mark Allan's birthday get announced on our front page? Maybe because he evidently doesn't read this page, and he didn't respond when he was summoned by some of us. Oh, well. He deserves a good birthday, anyway. So: HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK.

And Happy Birthday from me, down here in North Carolina. Are you back home, looking at the photos from your new camera? We would all love to hear (see?) something from you. (I know you're computer literate, so c'mon!)I think you have moved out of Teenagedom and into Twentyville, so congratulations. I wish you many good things in the year (and decade) ahead.

Yes, most importantly! Thanks Steve and Paula...it's wonderful to see a young lady in love like our ((((Miranda)))), and I am so happy for her happiness! She deserves nothing but the best, her whole life through, I am quite sure.
Next week she turns 21 and will be computer enabled, and will hopefully start to give us updates on this site.
Also I got my hair cut very short. :)

The whole month of October brings Jerry to mind for me. It is lovely to think of him in all of our hearts and minds, spread so far apart. And what a beautiful day for reflection.
Way to go Miranda! But aren't there laws against child brides? Unless....wait....how old are you? Am I? Are we? Where did the time go?

Big all in one post:
Happy Belated birthday to dear Sophie!!! I echo the good wishes of the rest of the family!
And as always the irony of Halloween haunts me too...((((Jerry))))
And lastly - to continue the circle of life theme - I want to let you all know that my (eldest) baby is now engaged to be married! Of course we are thrilled and shocked and wondering how many of you we will be able to convince to come out and celebrate with us...some time next year - details to be worked out.
And really lastly, my trial version of Office has expired (oy - great timing) so till I figure out what to do about that, I know I'm still receiving email, not sure I can send...but email me anyway in the meantime!
Love to all - as always, especially on this day, I want to let you all know - my brothers and sisters, my parents and children and husband and nieces and nephews and aunts and uncles and cousins - and friends!!! - to let you all know you mean so much to me, and I'm grateful that I have each and everyone.

well it seems like we are not going to get much out of mark but i'll tell you all about the cabin! Mom and dad and i closed it up on thursday, turned off the water, drained the pipes, put the mice to bed. I went through all the boxes (nine of them) that i left there years ago (mostly papers and photographs) to go through in front of the fire. Isn't it nice when your plans finally come true! Now i just have to make photo albums. We all huddled in front of the fire all night because it's getting cold up there. Mom and i slept downstairs on the fold out couch and kept the fire going all night, dad slept in the back room where we heard chicago win the world series (yay white sox!) before we went to bed. Now i'm getting ready to end another visit to lovely brevard, missing the vampire parade by just hours this time. Someday i'll see it, maybe. Hope everyone's well, looking forward to getting back to snowy massachusetts.

I am happy to announce that Athena has arrived from Massachusetts. Her trip was uneventful until we started to Brevard from the airport. Then we had a flat tire! Three cars stopped and contributed toward getting us back on the road. (I won't go into why it took so many people to do it...) Athena is appreciating the friendliness and helpfulness of southern folks.

Quick update: I dropped all my history courses and back to my once upon a time (1987) plan to try and gain admittance to the Computer Science department, so I'm taking java programming class this quarter, will finisht the rest of the prerequisites this year and apply for fall 2006. Plus I start back at Microsoft with the Live Communication Server team, testing software, on Miranda's 21st birthday (just over 2 weeks).
One of the teeth I'm having restored went south this week and I had a root canal on Wednesday.
That's about it.

well since i know that one of the things mom likes is seeing new postings on the web site here is the post birthday post: weather truly beautiful here in northampton, the golds and oranges beating out the reds this year (for a while it looked like the greens were going to hang on all winter). I'm at the library where the computers are fast and the books are many. I've had many good meals at jessamyn's house since she moved to town, i recommend it highly as the new best place in town to eat (company's pretty good too). Hope all is well in stylos-land, i'll be going to northcarolina headquarters next saturday. Wish you were coming!

My Big Day is winding down, but the glow lingers on. . .It was a lovely birthday, starting with the full moon shining through my bedroom window and waking me up. Then there was "fresh-squoze" tangerine juice, email and message board wishes, and lots of phone calls, from all 6 kids and several others besides.Then a BIG bouquet of pink carnations and a picnic in the woods, followed by a chocolate birthday cake at home. And there are birthday cards on the mantle, cards which have been arriving all week. What more could anyone ask? Thank you, thank you, to all of you. Or as we say down here, all y'all.

yes mom you WERE at the party, and you'll be happy to know there was no leftover fudge sauce for the mice to leave their foot- and tooth-prints in the next morning like they did last time. I finally learned that now that there are no cats i have to clean every crumb before i go to bed. Just like the cabin! More rain in massachusetts, we must be halfway through the forty days and forty nights by now ...

Where are the pictures? Sorry we missed Joe. How is the van, Mark? Still running? And did I say what a great time we had at Athena's party? She was a wonderful hostess...that girl always did know how to make us all happy.

Did I mention that Joe got back from his hike in California. He took lots of nice pictures with his new digital camera. And did I mention that he has since left again on another trip....this time in a car with Trav. I didn't get a chance to talk to him before he left, so I'm not sure where he's going or for how long. Watch for him on your doorstep.

What a wonderful rainy saturday morning. After morning chores, Melinda and I are headed to Sheffield Pottery, then to Northampton to see The Paradise City Arts Festival (where Jessamyn is helping at her potter's booth) and then on to Athena's party. Hurray for fun filled three-day weekends! Oh, and too bad about those Sox.

It's been chilly and rainy here for a week, it seems. I hope everyone is enjoying their October. It's already a week old. §

Friday again! I've had a great week - got my class schedule straightened out, and a request to come back to work with a group I really liked - that may or may not work out, depending on if they can wait until my forced 100 day break is over.
The weather is beautiful, I'm all caught up on homework (if not housework), and all is right with my world. At the moment. :)
Now if those silly Red Sox will just cooperate...
