Not much news except the personal around Christmas time. I truly hope you all have had as joyous and happy a holiday as have Bruce and I! House full of a 2-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy and parents 40-something! Boxing Day we were visited by Clan Cameron from Bristol and Pemaquid, Bruce's sister, brother and his family! Niece Chelsea, now a senior at Lincoln Academy, is checking out colleges and enticing majors like mad! Kate and Ben are charmers! Ben, in the first grade, is already able to do multiplication! Kate has at least 10 Christmas songs in her repertory which she will sing at the drop of a hat!
The turkeys came forth in all their 21+ glory! And the chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, jays, hairy woodpeckers, and even a cardinal entertained us at the bird feeders.
So, as the snow flurries up from departing car wheels, and the house quiets down, I will wish us all a happier, kinder, but probably not much more peaceful, year in 2005!
