As I sit here writing the first flakes of what is supposed to be our first real snowfall are coming down. They are the big flakes, falling slowly - the kind we all dream will fall on Christmas eve and they are lovely.
All the mountains one can see in the distance are snow covered and it is cold today - our high will be only 38. Yesterday was beautiful - people were sitting in outdoor cafes and the sun was bright and warm - it can change quickly this far in the air.
Packages have arrived and all mine have been sent and I sit here prepared for the holiday. I hope today finds you the same.
Yesterday I went shopping and stocked up on food for the holiday so I wont have to battle the crowds in the stores and I picked up two new books by two of my favorite authors, Sue Grafton and Patricia Cornwell - so now I have something to read over the next days. Nothing like snow, the tree lights and a good murder mystery.
Well I am off to have my mid-morning snack - be well and stay warm.
Hugs - Chuck

Well Chuck as we sit here in our apartment Palm Harbor, Florida with sweat running down our faces we envy you. Our Christmas will be full of friends and family but meager in the present area. Diane is working at Macy's call center 6 days a week and taking all the overtime she can get to pay the bills. I am still not working after 6 months of interviews. We are thankful for friends like you who took us in when we needed shelter. We regret that we left when you would have needed us to help you through your ordeal, had we known we would have stayed longer. So going into this new year we hope to see the new you wherever we can meet in this world. You sound cozy and in GOD's hands. Be well and count your blessings for all you have and what the future will bring to you.
Merry Christmas, dear friend!
Merry Christmas Chuck.
Jim
