This blog is a common sharing location for the five Kreider brothers and our families, descendants of J. Robert and Virginia. We hope our families will upload and post photographs, news, humor, recipes and anything else that might be of interest to the rest of us, for all of us are the authors of this family blog.

The picture reminds me of the four years in a row Kara and I have been out to see Mark and Amy during Kara's winter break in February, which coincides nicely with Mark's birthday. The pattern has been that I follow around Kara at the DeWitt-Clinton High School the Friday before the break, then we spend the weekend with Mark and Amy. The last three years we have done so in Cutchogue, usually riding out with them in the Jeep on a Saturday morning fortified with coffee and pastry to sustain us in the commute. While their home in Cutchogue is cozy anytime, it is especially so in the winter when we heat up the kitchen with cooking / baking, perhaps a fire in the fireplace, and burrow deeply into our beds at night with the wind howling outside--sometimes beating against the windows so noisily that I wake up and wonder about all the years the house has managed to withstand such treatment. On one bitterly cold night when the "girls" went to bed early to fight off their colds after a home-made soup and bread supper on the couch covered with blankets in front of the TV, Mark and I stayed up late to watch an historical fiction movie of the Napoleonic Wars campaign from a British perspective. Mark and Amy's interest in the water and sea faring stories has been contagious for me and the brothers. It has become a well spring of common experience among us, and has ignited my interest in an historic period to which I had paid little attention before.
