Not much snowfall during the past few days, thankfully. Heating oil truck has been and filled the tank, the tree is up and well decorated, gifts have been wrapped and mailed (yikes! the cost per box was approximately one-quarter the cost of the contents) and delivered. The Annual Open House was filled with cheer, good friends and family, and food.
In the midst of all this, we experienced a death in the family here in the Bangor area. Somehow this one was not as traumatic as the one a year and a half ago. But as we all gathered, some of us having just been together two weeks earlier, we are once again thankful for family and the message this season brings.
May you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The postings and blog will be on vacation until after the first of the year. My wishes for you all is that the coming year will be filled with peace and joy and better times.
Prayers are requested, as always, for the members of the military and their families who work and sacrifice for the democracy and freedom we are so privileged to have in this country.
