Year 2020 in Review
Bob Jensen at Trinity University
One highlight in 2020 was David's visit in November
2020. In years past we always went to California to visit David and his brother
Mike.
This year David visited us for a few days. Below is a picture of David with his mom.
Erika was once over five feet six inches tall. Since her many spine surgeries
she's shrunk a bit.
Now tall David towers over his mom and me.
David has four grown children, three of which are now in college.

This is David, Mike, and Mom some years back when we visited California
This was taken before Erika commenced her spine
surgeries
I told you that she was a relatively tall woman at one time
Below is a picture of David about the time he
graduated from Macarthur High School in San Antonio
See how much hair this handsome boy had in his youth
This is a zoomed view of Mt. Washington from my desk.
About 30 miles away is the historic Mt. Washington Hotel.
On a day when Erika was not feeling well, I took
David up to the above hotel for lunch during his short visit.
The normally crowded lobby was total empty due to Covid19.
David and I had the restaurant of this enormous hotel almost to ourselves.

In past years I used my New Holland tractor to move
snow with a snow thrower on the back.
In 2020 our nearby New Holland dealer went out of business.
In 2020 I decided to buy a new tractor from the only
tractor dealer left within 60 miles
I bought a John Deere 1025 with a heated cab to keep me warm when it's below
zero with a hard wind
It's also very easy to pull the tractor away from its mower and front end loader
In my driveway an expert mechanic then installed a front-end snow thrower
This is my latest "toy" that I move from my barn to my garage when heavy snow is
in the forecast.
Next summer I will easily remount the front-end loader and mower
This view of our driveway shows why I need a snow thrower
This is a picture taken some years back when Lisl
and her brother Marshall visited from Maine.
In 2020 they did not come up to these mountains because of Covid19.
That's when pictures from the past
become more precious.
It may look like it, but I really had not been drinking.
I just got old.
In October 2020 before Halloween we had a snow storm
that was a disaster.
The problem was that not all the leaves were off the trees and the roses were
still in bloom.
The snow did not last long, but it brought down a lot of tree limbs and whole
trees.
Wild turkeys beg for food in the winter
Erika has blooming cacti all over the cottage
This is one of them beside our elevator

On May 14,
2006 I retired from
Trinity University after a long and
wonderful career as an accounting professor in four universities. I was
generously granted "Emeritus" status by the Trustees of Trinity University. My
wife and I now live in a cottage in the White Mountains of New Hampshire ---
