Greetings! I woke early when I heard Santa's reindeer prancing around on the roof. Everyone else here is still asleep - the kids are 14 and older now, but they promised we would meet at the tree at 7:30. Here's a photo of my first-born Tate and me hamming it up at a neighborhood party last evening where we had just popped poppers and everyone is wearing the enclosed "hats". Tate's split because, as he said, "the more I think the tighter the hatband becomes till it finally began to split." Count on Tate to get serious enough to actually THINK at a party. We had a grand time with the whole fifty or so of us participating in singing the Twelve Days of Christmas as a sort of a round with different groups portraying the individual animals, etc. FUN! Mrs. Santa Claus also visited and led the game. ……prior to the party, I enjoyed a beautiful celebration at the Methodist church Luke's family belongs to along with Susan's mother, Muriel, who drives up from The Villages each Christmas. We'll all be together for brunch at Luke and Susan's at 11:00 and opening our Secret Santa presents. I'll probably take a short nap before driving back to the Cottage for the night and return to Litchfield till January 1. I am now ready to begin editing the new latest draft (I've lost count now). LIFE IS GOOD!
