She has two terrific sons, Jared 18, now in the Air Force, and Jonathan, 20, going to college.  Ronni's pet family includes a cat, Sneakers (here's the gossip: Sneakers has extra toes on all four feet - six toes on one foot, five on the others).   Ronni also breeds and raises quarter horses--she now has two of them. Jin Kim Jin is an assistant technician whose calm and professional manner belies a playful sense of humor. She says that her 'loves' are playing with her pets and working at CVC. Aw Jin, you didn't have to say that, but we're glad you did. Jin's pet family includes two cats, Sky and Milo, and two dogs, Yesol, a Spitz mix (my "angel"), and Jinju, a Pomeranian (my "devil"). They all play well together, except that Jinju gets mad when Yesol steals her toys.

It was, as usual, a great chance to hang out with our terrific staff, family and friends -- without once mentioning work (even though we DO love our work)! Number 14 proved to be unusually interesting and fun.  First, we discovered several things about Saddle Ranch. It's a big, lively restaurant that also features big, lively food. The big news, however, was the big mechanical bull! Even before dinner, as we sipped big drinks and ate big appetizers, people started riding the bull. It was big fun and excitement! Several staff members, Vanessa, Kayla and Jean, ALL rode proudly and gracefully -- some longer than others. The gang was also hugely serenaded with great 60's music by an acoustic duo of restaurant employees. It may seem weird to think of an acoustic Stones Satisfaction or Hendryx All Along the Watchtower -- but it really worked -- these guys were good! And finally, we found out what we suspected all along: this crew, which works really hard, can also party hard! Thanks to all for another great year!   1. The Milder-Freisers arrive at the party 2.
