Word of the week:
Dear all,
This is the time of the year when families join in heartfelt celebrations all over the world. You can feel the love in the air. It is also the time of the year when the roads are full, supermarkets are bustling, and life is oh so busy. Tomorrow our son Max, his wife Amanda and our two precious granddaughters, Sadie and Darla will fly to Barbados to spend a week with us. That makes it the very BEST time of the year for us!
For all of you who are traveling, visiting, or gathering with friends and family, we wish you love, happiness, and GOOD health always. Stay safe everyone and enjoy these precious moments!
