September 11, 2001 ...Let us not forget

Hopkins 2001

Another year has come and gone. Can’t believe how time flies. Overall 2000 was a good year for us and hopefully 2001 will be even better. It started off great. Donna & I went out on New Years Eve with our friends/neighbors Rick & Sylvia. We had a really good time & maybe started a new tradition. Hope to do it again next year.

More news as the year progresses….

Vacation 2000

We decided to go back to Disney World this year. It has been a few years since our last "big" Disney vacation and there were a few new things to see.

Time for a new van

This year Donna & I decided it was time for a new van. We had real good luck with the 94 Lumina so it was back to Chevrolet to see what we could get. We ended up purchasing a 2000 Chevrolet Venture LT. It was real nice on the trip to Disney and so far we are really enjoying it. Hopefully it will be as good or better than it's predecessor.

Hurricane Irene - 10/15/99

What a surprise this was! She was supposed to stay well west of us & go up the West coast of Florida but,........... made a right turn instead and came right across S. Florida. No hurricane warning or anything. No time to put up shutters just grin & bear it. Fortunately it was a weak category 1 storm so there was not alot of wind damage but I have never seen so much water. Everything is flooded. No water in the house but came to within a few feet about 10PM last night. I'll put pictures up after I get them developed & scanned.
