Merry, Merry Holly Daze to all of you. Thanks for being here another year.

Love the various greeting cards you all have done!

It is almost 1230p in COlorado. I've made a bunch of phone calls, just got dressed. Rog has the potatoes cooking and we will load up the food, pressies, dulcimer and psalteries to go to my sisters' house for dinner in about 30 minutes.

We live in the banana belt of Colorado, very mild, so it was a nice surprise to wake to a very small amount of snow, enough to make it a white Christmas morning, but, alas...'tis all gone now.:-) We are enjoying the shirtsleeve weather, though. My sister and Mudcatter, bet, reports Fairbanks, Alaska warms up to about 2 degrees F. then cools down overight to about 7 below or more and, she likes it! She also noticed an interesting phenomenon...all of the streetlights and other illumination outside shine straight up into the sky, having to do with all of the frozen water lying around or something. She said they all looked like search lights, very different.

Spoke to Spaw this morning. They are away with Ma-in-law, having a nice time; he and Karen sound really good and relaxed.

May the new year bring you all that you desire.
