Keeping up with the Rozells...
As most familys are these days, we're a busy lot. To help you with the challenge of keeping up with us, we'll update these pages frequently with recent happenings and upcoming events we think you may want to know about. That way, even if you are miles away, you'll feel like you're right here with us. If you haven't visited in awhile, check the archives for anything you may have missed.
Thanks for visiting, and please remember to leave us a comment. We'd love to hear from you.
We had an extra special Christmas gift this year... a visit from Zach. On leave from his
base in Iwakuni, Japan, Zach spent several days at Bonny & Steve's house for the Christmas holidays. He took in some duck hunting with Steve a couple of early (and cold) mornings followed by several nice evenings at home where Bonny cooked a few of his favorite dishes.
We saw Zach as much as we could during those evenings. He taught me, Alex, and Eric how to play Texas Hold'em one evening and we were able to Skype Nata and visit with her as well. Another night, Steve grilled boudain and duck that Danny Landry and his wife Lisa brought to share.
Bonny sent these pictures of Zach playing with Nixon and McKenna, Nata's baby and step-daughter. Zach went with Bonny & Steven to visit Nata in Ohio for a few days after his visit here.
Zach left Ohio for a short stay in Charolette, NC before returning to Japan.
We spent Thanksgiving this year at Bonny & Steve's new home in Orange, where we found Steve with this "Big Green Tractor". He had it on loan from a friend in order to do some dirt work in his generous-sized yard. They have such a nice new house and really seem to be enjoying it, after being holed-up in a tiny trailer in the woods of
Buna for more than a year after Hurricane Ike destroyed their Bridge City home.
They are located well out of harms way for the next storm. North of I-10 and in a tree-less field with good elevation, they are determined to not have a repeat of 2008 hurricane season. They even included a "Hurricane Room" in their new garage's design, with a fully
equipped kitchen and bath, where they can live should another storm come knock out power for several days. They can power the room with a generator until power can be restored after the storm.
