There has been considerable melting of snow this past week,
the grass is peeking through the remaining mounds of snow, and a sure sign that
spring is coming. With the arrival of spring comes the annual mailing of the
2015 summer activates calendar along with other pertinent information regarding
the Colony Trust. Please watch for this important information within the next
couple of weeks. If you do not receive a packet please contact the Colony Trust
who will be happy to assist you, the mailing will also be posted on the web
site.

It has been a very long and challenging winter for Marilyn
Steane. Marilyn was in and out of the hospital many times with back surgery and
complications resulting from that surgery. She is of course frustrated as she
is not able to participate in her favorite past times: skiing riding her horse and
golf. Jim has been busy skiing all winter.
Jim and Marilyn were able to sit for their daughter Jen and
son in law Dave’s dogs while Jen and Dave searched for a house in Maui where
they now reside. Jen and Dave will be seen on the HGTV show House Hunters which
will air in April, Marilyn will keep us all informed as to the date.
Jim and Marilyn’s son Jeff, daughter in law Cindy, and
grandchild Morgan were able to visit them at Thanksgiving and enjoy some early
skiing. The entire family plans to be together in Maui in the near future. Both
Jim and Marilyn are looking forward to summer and Ocean Point.
