Jeff just finished up working on this Tour yesterday, here is a press release for it today. I'll admit we are a little nervous about where budget cuts will go and hopefully not to the defense sector... but this report does show favor for Crane's search and in particular what Jeff works on!

...Here is Jeff's email to me...

Ann,

The CNO gave a press conference at the end of his tour yesterday. Seems he liked it and implied that Crane will be here for a long time to come.

Longest consistent run to date!!

Today was my longest run on record yet I did for strait miles without any walking!!! I will start running 4 milers for the next week then bump up a 1/2 mile each week. I hope to be running 6 miles around Christmas! Todays run 47 min....so at this pace I should be able to finish the next race in about an hour!!!

Finishing a wedding cake...

I said I would finish the tutorial...and then holidays happened and life..and well I didn't. But here is finally a photo of the finished cake.

Each layer has white leaves as a boarder, then the ferns have white flowers and leaves on them. This was a fun challenge...and the purple flowers are actually paper flowers :) Still not professional but it works for me!

Early christmas gifts!

These hats are now done. I completed the mall in 1 week :) the kids will get them early because why we don't have snow it can get really cold.... and each 1 has given input on how their hat was to be completed so there is no surprise. Merry Christmas kids, I love you!
