Happy Holidays to all my friends here on this list.  Most of the time I
just "listen in," like the old ladies used to do on the party lines we had
out here in the country.  Every once in a while I find something I can
respond to and join in the fun.  This is one of my most favorite lists.  I
really hope I do get to meet some of you in person someday.  For now though
I am quite tied down with "Dad sitting."  We have gone to Merrill's
sister's for several years but this year I told her they would have to come
here as we couldn't leave Dad for that long.

Best wishes for a great New Year,  Ruth
