People who love each other do the worst things to each other over the holidays.
But Relentless Hope prevails and If The Holidays were limited to two dinners or dinner & a brunch might be predictive of holiday warmth. Alas though……Christmas start the day after Veterans Day pretty much guaranteeing the national mood on Jan. 1st of the new year is depression, disappointment and despair. Just Damn

I had a glorious trip there in the 70’s and went on safari ..still remember the great views, and our landrover guiding us thru the wilds of Kenya.

Hi Diana, I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to reply to you. We’ve been traveling a lot, thanks to two of my three kids living in London (and maybe more significantly, two adorable grandchildren) and then a wedding in Colombia. These destination weddings that today’s 30 year olds do really get me out of my armchair. My mother isn’t great, leslie is better but neither 100% that’s for sure. Oh well, they live in a beautiful place. I hope you’re well, Elena
