A HOLY NEW YEAR to ALL! from Jeannie (Trombold) & Bill Hoey

While our Crhistmas Greeting production has ebbed badly for a number of years, we SUREly want aach and ALL of you know that think of you and savor the love and sharings of your greeting cards, EVERY one.

But we won't let New Years Day slip past without blogging-along our fondest, appreciative GREETINGS TO ALL and our hopes and expectations for your increasingly successful, joyful and progressive 2008 !

"WE ARE COMING TO YOU" this time from the Columbus, OH, area; Jeannie in a wonderful environment of Christian Science "care" at a facility in Hilliard, I in the win-win occupation of an apartment of a aaanother resident of the facility, in Upper Arlington . . . a few hundred yards from Stacey and Shawn and a miloe or three from Eric and Beth.

I am still involved with Real Estate but, finding it more familyish and economical to be near Jeannie in Ohio for now, I have switched brokerages from the "retail office" in Prescott to Coldwell Banker Residential Referral Associates based in Scottsdale. As long as I maintain my AZ Real Estate license I can operate from almost anywhere and "Refer" from/to anywhere, even to non-C.B. Brokerages. Bill@BillHoey.com

Maybe we can coax personal UpBlogs from Robbin and Peter as well as Erin and Marc so I'll give them the opportunity to tell you their stories first-hand. Suffice it to say, they're doing great.

Our love, hearty hugs and heartfelt smiles to each of you, ALWAYS,
Jeannie and Bill

Erin and Marc in NH

Hi All!

Hope all is well with you! Marc and I have enjoyed our first year of being homeowners, and no longer find ourselves visiting Lowe's every weekend!

We just got back from a trip to the Bahamas - celebrating the fact that I survived my first year as a first-grade teacher! Marc continues to do well as a sports reporter at New Hampshire's Union Leader. In his first year there, he's covered high school football, wrestling and lacrosse, and is hoping to get down to the Little League World Series again. Of course he's really waiting for his chance to cover the Red Sox - but we're being patient.

This summer, we're hanging out poolside and enjoying a little downtime. If anyone is in New England, we'd love to hear from you! Love to everyone - Erin

Stevie, Kim, Zach & Augie Sneed

Hey everyone! Sneed family "update"- We live in Moseley Va. about 25 miles west of Bon Air (where Kim and I both grew up). Zach, our oldest, is now 16 and stands about 6' 1", going into the 11th grade and will be SCA President, he is a member of FCCLA, runs cross country and track for Powhatan High School and is involved in alot of church activities and can drive now yea!!!. Spare time is spent reading, playing soccer, mountain biking, swimming, snow skiing, chasing a girl or two.... Augie is now 13 and looking eye level with me, going into 9th grade. Plays soccer all the time, has a girl friend (going on two years now!), did I mention he plays soccer all the time- wake boarding, snow skiing, swimming and hanging out with his many friends. Kimberly enjoys reading in every spare moment, still a faithful partimer for the Post Office - spends the majority of her time driving kids to and fro and I recently talked her into playing soccer with me on a coed team - she also loves snow skiing with the kids! I'm still with Crenshaw-Singleton Properties, managing commercial real estate, spare time is spent on the soccer field (playing and coaching), pre 1840 reenacting (mountainy man stuff), bow hunting, black powder hunting and doing stuff either around our house or on our property in Buckingham County. If any of you are ever down our way please know your welcome anytime!! Stevie.

Swanyville Studio

Hi all! If working and raising 2 kiddies isn't enough, I've taken on another challenge...selling some of my crafts. Here's the link to my on-line store through etsy.com. There will be more items listed soon. Please keep this in mind for any baby gifts you might need. I've been giving them as gifts for awhile now, and have had very positive feedback.

Meghan and Blake have set their Wedding Date----May 17th, 2008----so pencil into your datebook this potential Trombold party. It will most likely be held near Nashville, Tennessee on Blake's Parents Farm but we will be certain to keep you posted.

Rob is recovering nicely from some recent surgery, going to Hawaii for 14 days certainly helped in his recovery too.

Casey is home for the summer and working once again at TEPCO in Mars with her Dad and Uncle Paul.

All in all Life is Good!!!

Hugs to all---Deb, Rob, Meg and Casey

I briefly spoke with Martha on Monday, to make sure Jenna (currently enrolled at Virginia Tech) was safe. I hope this posts, but the main idea is to wear maroon & orange on Friday to show support for students, families and everyone touched by this tragedy.
