In the predawn hours of tomorrow me and the Mrs. Will hop aboard a big silver bird and head for the East Coast to spend Christmas with relatives. I will not have internet access until we get home on the following Wednesday.

But I wanted to take a little time out from yard work, house work, washing and packing to wish my new-found friends in here a very merry Christmas. I pray that in these awful and dangerous times we can lighten our hearts and focus on the reason for the season. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ I hope that we can focus on the love and caring for others that characteristically defines this time of year. Hold your loved ones near and tell them you love them. Hold onto your faith and pray that we may as a race of people find out way back to more peaceful times.

I hope you all have a safe and merry Christmas. I'll holler when we get home. God bless.....

Here's hoping you have a wonderful trip and a Merry Christmas.
