Dear
family,
I could
almost tell you to read the last issue, as our schedules don't change too
much. We have added some doctor's visits but that is normal. Bill
is now the Vice Mayor having been re-elected in January. He had to campaign
in December and won by a landslide. So that means 4 more years.
We are
both involved in several musical groups. In addition to the Sanctuary
Choir, Bill is a member of the Men's Chorus, Penney Men (a small group of
eight) and an Ensemble, which we're both involved in. The latter is a
group of 12 mostly husband and wife except for two. I'm involved in the
Women's Chorus in addition to the Sanctuary choir (of which I am the librarian)
and in Hand-bells. So these organizations keep us pretty busy.
In
addition we serve the
Well I
think that is enough to bore you with for this time. We are preparing and
looking forward to our usual trip to see family and spend a few weeks in
Love to
all, Bill and Romayne

Dear Ones,
Our summer began in the usual way with a
visit first with Autumn and Samantha on our way
North. Then, a weekend with Sylvia where
we were introduced to her new apartment in down town
In early August we returned home to
The town of
We have enjoyed good health, though Romayne injured her arm in a fall while working at Beyer
House, one of our assisted living units.
It has healed very well even if it has taken a long time in doing
so. Now if we can survive the special
Christmas celebrations we may make it to the end of the year.
We wish a blessed celebration of our Lord’s
birth and a wonderful new year to you all.
With love,
Romayne

Dear Family,
We look forward to reading all of the events that
have taken place in your lives since our last newsletter. Our schedule
seems to be as busy as ever with choir, men’s and women's choruses, bell choir,
and a new group called "Penney Men" that has just developed in the
past few months. As some of you may remember, I was involved as chair of
the music committee in hiring a new minister of music. Finally this past
February one of our new residents consented to be that person. He has
been a wonderful addition. In addition to the groups mentioned above he
has recruited 12 of us - mostly couples - to be in an ensemble. We have
sung at several meetings and we will be singing in church on June 11th.
We enjoyed a short visit from Syl
in February. She had been sent by the station to cover the Daytona
"500". She'll no doubt mention this in her article so won't
elaborate further. But we were happy that she could finally see where we
lived, etc.
In March, we went with a group of 30 from here, on
a bus trip to
We have done quite a bit of typing this Spring. I've done the usual "Writer's
Booklet" which includes stories and poems by some of our people
here. But also this year the same group has compiled a cookbook and I was
involved in typing up some recipes for that. Bill, as chairman of the
Commemorative committee, puts together the programs
which means gathering the program information and also background
material on the people being honored. He also is producing every month
the birthday invitations for the first Wednesday of the month. That plus
his work with the Town Council keeps him busy.
Things are slowing down here some and we are
looking forward to making our usual trip to
I think that covers things from here. Once
again we thank Autumn and Kyle for the great job they
do in producing this for all of us to enjoy.
Love, Romayne & Bill
Fall/Winter 2005
To our extended family,
The last few months have
been a little unusual for both of us. First of all, we didn't make our
usual trip to
The other excitement ??? in our lives has
been to join with several others in our family taking care of some physical
problems. Bill had cataract surgery on both eyes. I had knee
replacement surgery in my right knee in July and Bill had hernia surgery in
September. We took time in-between surgeries so one or the other could
drive the patient to the hospital. We are both doing well for which we
thank the Lord.
We trust that the other
members of the family who have had physical problems are all doing much
better. We've had a lot to pray for, haven't we?
We are back in full swing
here - keeping busy with all of the activities and getting ready for the
holiday season. Thanks again to Autumn and Kyle
for doing this for all of us to enjoy.
Love to all, Bill & Romayne
Spring/Summer 2005
Greetings to all!
Definitely the
most exciting and important news is the arrival of our great-granddaughter,
Anastasia Romayne. As most of you know she
arrived on Dec. 9th. We made a short trip up to see her between Christmas
and New Year's. What a blessing. We can't wait to see her again.
The other change
in our family is that Bill was elected to be the Mayor of Penney Farms in
February. This has been a new experience. A few more meetings and
visits to Town Hall to confer with the Town Manager. I was able to go
with him to
Bill has also had
cataract surgery on both eyes about a month apart so we're still doing
drops. He was so pleased after the first one to be able to see the back
of the church from the choir loft. The doctor says both are doing very
well. So we have made several trips to Mayo Clinic during the last few
months for our physicals and preparation for his surgeries, etc. They should
be able to stay in business for a little while.
We seem to be
able to keep busy and I guess that's good.
We look forward to catching up with all of you. Thanks to Autumn and
to Kyle for putting this together.
Love to all, Romayne & Bill
Dear family,
Our greetings from
We spent about six weeks at our trailer
as usual and enjoyed a very cool summer. It was wonderful to sit on our patio
and watch the people coming and going and all of the activity in the pool. We
arrived back here the middle of August just in time to greet our first
hurricane. We prepared for "Charley" but thankfully it didn't hit
here But "
We're back to our busy schedule here.
We look forward to hearing from all of you.
And again we thank Autumn
for doing such a beautiful job of producing this each time.
Love to all, Romayne & Bill
Greetings to all from
We seem to be keeping busy
as usual. Keeps us young I guess!! In addition to our usual volunteer things
that we do we keep busy with choirs (Sanctuary, Men's, Women's & Bells),
etc. The Easter season was a busy one. Our
Our new Commons building was
dedicated on Feb. 27th and our bell choir played as the people took a tour
through it afterwards. It's beautiful and has been used a lot already. Another
couple and we decided that we would take some days off and go and see some of
the sights near us. So in February we took a day trip to Silver Springs and in
March we went to Marjorie Rawling's place in Cross
Creek. Her most famous book is "The Yearling". The first weekend in
June (Friday & Saturday) we're going to
Hope this finds everyone
doing well. We are eager to hear all of the news.
Love, Romayne & Bill
