Greetings from Smokey

My dear Susan has returned from her long journey. I took her to a favorite restaurant, fed her, and brought her home and put her to bed. I hope she sleeps well and feels more rested tomorrow. Unfortunately we have to be up early in the morning and drive 3 hours to attend the funeral of har son-in-law's father who died unexpectedly over the weekend. It is a sad time for a funeral.

On a more cheerful note, here is a Christmas picture from our noble dog Smokey. He would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous and Happy New Year. And so do Susan and I.
