What Fun!

I’m quoting one of our favorite cousins after a weekend visit with her grandkids. She reminds me to stay more positive and joyful about time spent with my grandsons rather than mentioning how totally destroyed my home is and how worn out I am after their visits. We just finished watching Brett’s two boys open gifts and we’re waiting to board a plane to catch Cyd’s family for part of Christmas day also. Really I can’t help thinking how quickly they’re growing and how I get to spend less and less time with them so I do mean it when I say they are fun.

My fresh, green tree is dropping needles like raindrops when it gets touched. Besides it was much work to decorate. Surfing online I found a nice aluminum tree that I’ve ordered for next year and that will solve the environmental problem of destroying green trees while at the same time making decorating the tree less labor intensive on my part. And get this, it just happens to come from Chiasso, N2112 Clybourn Avenue in your Lincoln Park neighborhood. I know I’ll like having a tree from Chicago or most probably Made In China.

Hanna elected to go to Puerto Vallarta so she cannot meet us for our BH excursion. I just wanted to reminisce about the future she predicted for us in high school. Maybe this is as rich and famous as we’re ever going to be now. And Nancy and I think Ron should join us in CA also. We’ll see what develops there as he let a bad cold almost get the best of him.

Please post a long note about your Galapagos experience. We are dying to know. Oh, yes, Merry Christmas! Thanks for skipping the card with nothing on it but Love, Judy.
