For Christmas: beloved family photos

 One day before Christmas Eve, Don sent me a wonderful photo of himself and Lois from 1967, which was so touching.  I have assembled a collection of photos that mean so much to me, and I hope you will all enjoy them.  

Doug, Barbara and Bruce, circa 1953.

Susan gazing at Mt. Blanc from Chamonix, France.

Could a group of men be more handsome?  Distinguished?  Astute?  Brilliant?
Entertaining?  Witty?.

The biggest catch, besides Susan. August, 1968.

Every time I see this photo, I burst into laughter.  A spoonful of ice cream, and
the envious howls of Alex and Carter.

I wonder what they talked about ?
I'll bet they never stopped talking, and laughing together.

What a gift to have grandchildren that will accompany me

On Christmas Eve Eve, I wish all of you to have in your life the kind of incredible
memories my family has given to me.  Even in this terrible year of 2020, I've had
the time of my life, thanks to all of you, and your great seeking out of adventures, your unfailing
sense of humor, and (thanks to Zoom), we have had so many great meetings.
Bless all of you for all that you have been to me and my family.
