Celebrating Early Christmas

Our time in Charlotte visiting the kids (seen here celebrating an early Christmas dinner), friends and colleagues was very satisfying and went without a hitch. Luna loved being in a home with her dog buddy Sadie and fenced-in backyard. She was in heaven visiting all her best human friends and we were all sad to say goodbye. We celebrated an early Christmas with our kids, a treat for us and then packed up the car for the 14-hour drive to Newport, RI. There we visited cruising friends Skip and Maddie (s/v Saralane) and left Luna in their care. From there we backtracked to New Haven, CT and Yale University where our nephew was performing with an improv group. 13 family members converged and enjoyed the show and time together. Back the next day to pick up our dog who believed she had been abandoned forever, arriving in Bethel, ME late that day before the snow storm hit. We are glad to be settling in (again). My health has improved after a flare up of symptoms during the first two weeks of our trip and now we hunker down for a long, cold winter. It's a long wait for Spring.
