Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone. We wish all of you health, happiness, peace and prosperity in the coming year. Love, Ellen and Richard

Apologies to all for our unsocial behavior over the past few weeks. Since we got back from Washington state, we've been sharing a respiratory virus that has kept us somewhat hunkered down. We're on the mend (Rich is on antibiotics that seem to be doing the trick) and will hopefully be in good form for the Carlsbad trip. Sorry we missed the Pops, and Christmas eve service with the Livermores. Glad I got to enjoy Mike's belated Christmas soiree. Thanks, also to Judy and Susan allowing me to tag along to the Symphony. Yo Yo Ma Rocked The House with his Hayden Cello Concerto in C.




This is the view from our kitchen window during the back-to-back-to-back snow storms last week. It brought back vivid memories of Mom. An icicle didn't have a chance with Mom. As soon as it formed, she would lean out the window and beat it with a broom for fear it would eventually loosen up and strike some poor unsuspecting soul dead. Perhaps she inherited this fear from Nana....? At any rate, I just let 'em drip. Watch out below!
