Merry Christmas!

I hope your holiday season is operating on full tilt happiness and time with friends and family. And that your new year is healthy and joy-filled.

And if you’ll indulge me in this favorite photo of my sister and me with Santa. It is fitting today on a few levels, one of which is remembering my sister Linda - “Lin” as she preferred to be called - on this 1st anniversary of her death last Christmas Day. We have missed you, Lin. A lot.

And a sweet R.I.P. to Francie, the December cover girl on this year’s “Best Friends” calendar who crossed the Bridge this month. Happy forever ride on the Magic Carpet, Francie.
