Tis the Season to be Jolly

what a busy month! that's about all i can say...i thought i was on top of things...
that was the first week...
the second, russ had surgery, no problems, but it set me back a bit....
the third i got sick...and from them on, chaos!! so our cards are just being sent out...
hopefully, they will arrive BEFORE, but if not, here's a preview...we hope you have a wonderful
holiday season and a very happy new year...in all the craziness, stop and take a breath...remember
what you're celebrating and why...everything will get done, it always does...and if not, no worries...
just have a fantastic christmas celebration...all our love to you...
