Welcoming 2013 - Happy New Year!

I'm back!

Thank you for understanding my little hiatus.  Since a veil of sadness has struck our little state of Connecticut, it seems most of my celebratory and travel spirit was plucked  right out of me.

I spent the time over the holidays, as many of you did, hunkered down with my wonderful family and my dear, dear friends.
I think that was just what my soul needed, time spent with those I love.

Because those are the things that really matter.

I was also able to have a pre-Christmas breakfast with my friend Gayle visiting with her mom Grace, who resides in a local Apple Rehab Center.  This "home away from home" welcomes family into patient care on a regular basis.  As you can see below, the place is beautifully decorated for the season, and on the day we stopped, a little pup was making a visit, along with the jolly big guy and his lovely wife. That's right!  Santa and Mrs. Claus.

And finally, on New Year's Day I ventured out to Gayle's house to welcome in 2013!




Let 2013 bring joy and happiness to all of us.
