'Tis the season in Big River

It seems like no matter how hard I try, the cookies aren't getting baked, and the house isn't getting cleaned. I may be procrastinating. However, I am slowly getting presents wrapped and friends visited. All our kids will be home for Christmas along with spouses and children, so I suppose I should get serious about this. Garry's mom may also make it and possibly his brother and wife and one or more children. So we will have a full house. That's good because for the first time ever, I have had to shovel the pathway out to the cars. Usually there is enough foot traffic to keep it under control, or we have little snow. This year -- lots and lots of snow is keeping us busy.
Best wishes to all. I hope to talk to most of you at some point or another.
Relax and enjoy solstice, Christmas and the new year.
