We can't put the presents under the tree until late Christmas Eve because the Lab puppy would destroy them, but that is kinda fun this year. Leo, the puppy is getting big and he is really fun, still a little floppy and he has discovered he can climb on the snow, so our snowdrifts by the front door are topped by puppy poop! The Yorkie disappeared a few times in the big drifts after the BIG snow we had over the weekend. He wanted to follow me to the front barn which was a trek in 2 1/2 foot drifts, but was stopped about 100 yds in because he was one big snowball. Sarah rescued him.
The kids are all home and it is wonderful. Sarah's boyfriend is here from California and we welcomed him with 2 feet of snow. Didn't want him to miss any part of a white Eastern Christmas! And he helped shovel out!
We buried our friend yesterday and honored his life with friends and family. His colleagues came from as far away as Moscow, California, Ohio, Texas and we all gave homage to this man who was "the best of the best". Gerry was an example to us all about how to live an honorable, generous life. We will miss him terribly.
I wish everyone a safe, warm, lovely Christmas and here's to a hopefully happier New Year. Love you.
