CHRISTMAS IN NAPLES

 

Another year has gone by so fast. It will be 2023 soon, but now it is Christmas in the Glades.

We did the usual. Grandma set up the tree, then another one too. She does a great job and knows exactly where everything goes. They look great especially when the lights are turned on.

Cindy came down to visit. She does this every year and it is great to see her and hear about her life, job, work, and New York City. We are proud of her.

Here are a few Christmas pictures and memories that filled our home this year.

GUNNAR AND LINDSAY VISIT AND GIVE US A HUGE (TINY) SURPRISE

 Too much time had past between visits with "Sir Gunnar" and his beautiful wife Miss Lindsey. Today, thanks to the US Navy transferring him to Jacksonville, we were able to catch up.

They brought their dogs to check out our hacienda at the edge of the Everglades. Everyone took a walk. We went in different directions so the dogs stayed calm. Along the way the conversation brought time closer to our daily lives.

Later The Seldens gave us a card wishing us a happy Christmas Season. Inside the card was a picture. It was a black and white and looked like a space capsule, but then it became clear. An Addition to the Clan is on the way.
