Jim and Trish Keller
After consulting with NATO in Luxembourg for six years and
many trips back and forth, Jim is now “re-retired”. That leaves many projects around the
house to be completed.
Unfortunately, we won’t have our constant friend, Peanuts, with us
to enjoy our retirement. After 14
years with us, we lost his companionship in December 2010. He was 17-18 years old, lived a good
life and gave us infinite joy. He
was a well-travelled dog and spent a year with us living in Belgium while Jim
worked in Luxembourg. Click here if you want to know what else we've been up to recently.
Even though our postal address is Fredericksburg,
we are in Spotsylvania County, 10 miles west of "downtown" . Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania are dripping
in history with four major Civil War battlefields - Fredericksburg,
Chancellorsville, The Wilderness and Spotsylvania
Courthouse. As a matter of fact our new house is quite near to the
Chancellorsville battlefield. I guess we'll need to get a metal
detector to hunt for bullets and buttons. Click here if you want to know more about the area.
Our Fredericksburg family of two:
Jim, Chief Home Tinkerer
Having a degree in Electrical Engineering, Jim
will be the "Chief Operating Engineer" - keeping the house and
property in good order, finishing the unfinished basement, and tearing out and
rebuilding those things that we thought were perfect when we built the
house. Since we will now have only one acre instead of our previous five,
he should also have more time to goof off on the computer
Trish, Captain of the Ship
Trish, being a Scot's lass from Aberdeen,
naturally is of a seafaring nature. This helps materially in keeping our ship
afloat as Jim constantly redesigns it. Trish already has an organized
plan for the furnishings needed to complement a new house. All we need
now is a budget.
What is this all about?
This is our home page which will lead you to bits and pieces of what we're up to. As time progresses we'll add events, pictures, etc. Since we've been saying this for over 10 years, don't expect instant changes. Since Jim is hung up on the Genealogy thing links will be provided to the skeletons in the Keller and Cranna closets.
Our links aren't complete yet (or hardly begun,
for that matter) - be patient
