Holiday Greetings

Happy holidays, everyone!

The holiday season is finally here. Time to knock off work, rush to buy presents, and gather with family and friends. Robin and I have several Christmas traditions, starting this weekend with decorating a Christmas tree. And snuggling in a warm home looking out at perfectly-timed snow.

It's fitting time to appreciate the loved ones in our lives. I had several medical challenges arise recently, up to and including major surgery. The only way I can endure these hardships is with support from Robin. She's a skilled Sherpa who guides us to the summit, handling tasks beyond my current ability. As we enjoy the view from our mountaintop I want to gratefully acknowledge that our presence here is due to Robin's quiet quotidian efforts.

We both wish you all a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year!

    1. Thanks, Megan. You, too. Did you know in England/UK they spell cozy with an s? (Cosy) Always makes me think they're misspelling it. Also, there they have a store called TK Maxx, not TJ Maxx. It's the same owner but they're not allowed to use TJ in England because there's another, older store there called TJ Hughes. I'm a fount of information!

    1. Thanks, Sweetie. Same to you. And thanks for the e-card and green tea. Enjoy this relaxing week.

      P.S., I just watched a funny new TV show on Prime: "The Sticky" with Margo Martinson. About the famous Canadian Maple Syrup heist. Six short (30 min.) episodes.
