After Christmas Special

Andie Katres and Sandy McFadden have a time share that they'd like to give away.  A really great deal.

We have had this timeshare for 25 years and have gotten a lot of use out of it, but it's time to give it up.  We know that these are tough economic times so we are willing to just give it away.  Read on---

The timeshare is located in Boone, No. Carolina, a 2 hr drive north from Charlotte, in the hill country.  It is absolutely beautiful with lots of recreational activities, tons of antique shops, and great food.  There is a ton of stuff to do in this area.  The timeshare itself is called Willow Valley.  It's ours the 3rd wk of May.  It is a 2 bdrm, 2 bath unit.  There is golf, swimming pool, and workout area.  The yearly maintenance fee is $425.00 which is due every Feb .  Maybe there are 2 couples or friends out there who would like to go in together like Sandy and I did.  It is also your option to join a trading company, like RCI, (additional fee) and trade your timeshare for another timeshare anywhere in the world.  We've also done that alot.

If this is of interest to anyone, please contact Andie Katres, 425-830-0214 or Sandy McFadden 805-686-4803 for more details.

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

Miss you All.

Scarlett, the Flower Girl

My granddaughter, Scarlett, was asked to be a flower girl in her cousin's wedding. She was so excited and took her job very seriously. She learned the fancy dance moves from Grandma Vicki. :)

Poland Adventrure by Suzanne

I just returned from a wonderful trip to Poland.  I have wanted to do a pilgrimage and track the historical WWII trail of the Nazis and Soviets.  And, since no one else had an interest, went by myself.  I saw both Krakow and Warsaw and was amazed at how beautiful both cities were.  The trip was made so easy by the fact that nearly everyone under 35 spoke wonderful English and everyone was very helpful.  The train ride between the 2 cities took 3 hours and I did it twice.  Auschwitz was a painful experience…yet I highly recommend it.  Krakow was the only city in this country that was left intact by the Nazis.  Warsaw was severely damaged no less than 4 times and it was left in 1944 totally leveled.  The country of Poland is quite inexpensive and well worth the effort, if you’re inclined.  Here are the pictures I took:

Note From Tom
I would like to thank Suzanne for sharing her always great photos & adventure. I feel that SeaBuds has got away from the sharing of joys and adventures of our retired lives. SeaBuds should be a happy place as well as a place to get the word out about events and sad departures.
Let’s All try to keep in-touch

Caryl Jones Update

Caryl made it through her 3 1/2 hr surgery and came home today, Wed. She's doing well, but is very tired and needs her rest.  Amazing how quickly they send you home. I know she hopes to see many of you at the Whidbey events.   Jane
