Happy New Year Dave! Happened to log on and there you were. LOVED the pics and you have a beautiful family and you can see the family resemblance. You have much more fortitude than I do...braving those crowds? In pouring rain & lightning?

Probably the stress of Christmas, entertaining, and all that goes with it. (Happy to report a very laid back welcome into 2019 & no argument!). From our home to yours, Happy 2019, may it bring much joy & happiness that can only be counted in hugs and kisses! (And lots of blogs!) Sal
