As usual, my Christmas card/letter has been completed after the holiday this year. I did scale back on my snail mail list this year. For all my online friends, please enjoy here!
Love and blessings to you all.

• Strangest thing I’ve heard myself say, “No. You can’t go potty with a pancake in your hand.”
• Weirdest thing I’ve laundered: a used (yes, used!) Pull-Up (you should have seen the lint trap afterward)
• Loads of laundry washed, dried, folded, and put away: at least 550 (washed and dried; only about half of those actually folded and put away)
• Strangest discovery in my van: Spencer’s toothbrush
• Most anticipated acquisition that has not been adequately used to its potential: deep freezer
• Number of children’s birthday parties attended: 14
