DURING MY WRITING HIATUS

It was so good to be home for Christmas. We lived up the holiday traditions, EXCEPT for having a tree! Our lives were too busy & Regina claims that our place is too small. We will make a way to have one next year, even if we have to do some severe improvising. 

   Both of the older boys "helped" me with various big-truck activities during the past week. We had lots of quality time together, including individualized time. Kids need one-on-one time with their parents sometimes. 

   I'm back on the road now, preparing to get business done near Chicago. Truck traffic has been as light as expected. Parking is easy.
