Christmas is almost over. We have eaten the meal, exchanged the gifts and are settled down to a nice quiet visiting time.

I talked to Bart and Barb this morning, Bret this afternoon, and Leslie, Bill, Sara and Nora this evening. It is good to hear those voices since we cannot physically be together for hugs and sharing.

Dinner was very good and I DO recommend the Guy Pie. Everyone loved it and I can see how it won Emeril's contest.

The animals are very tired. Chelsea is hoping that I go to bed soon. Her tail is still bravely curled over her back but whenever she stops moving her eyes start closing. She isn't as young as she used to be.

Santa was very good to us again. We are indeed blessed in all ways. Especially with family that love us and that we love in return.

Stay warm and keep in touch.

Love

Merry Christmas
