Birthday weekend 2026! I hope it's a wonderful weekend - enjoy your time with your lovely family around, making great memories :)
I noticed in your writing area the Oxford tea cloth I sent you all those years ago :) I'm glad you still have it. Friends forever! :)
One day I hope to get back to the USA for more travel adventures, but the world is on edge, and costs of flights have gone up. This year will be bathroom renovations I think, instead :) xx

Happy Birthday weekend, Chris. I sent you a St. Patricks' Day card, both snail mail (which, apparently has gotten even MORE snailier.) And look for the birthday E Card I sent. There will be something in the snail mail soon. I hope Jeannie can come back to DS soon. I am glad she wrote and is doing okay. HI to Holly and Tiger. I am glad they are doing well. And your mom and Dad and Taylynn, too. I love the nature shots. I saw some sparrows and a dark eyed junco at my suet feeder today. Hugs
