Well, I'm back from saying a final good-bye to a wonderful friend who just could not stand up to cancer. His wife was my best friend in Salt Lake and my heart aches for her.

So I am still addressing cards and wrapping and we leave again for Utah on Saturday to spend Christmas with two of our children. The other two must work.

I just wanted to check in and let you know I'm still alive and I, too, licked lots of icicles when I was a kid.

Love to all,
Nancy
