It's been an off-beat holiday for us that was somewhat truncated by the largest snowstorm in Lynchburg history (such as that is) that dumped around 20 inches (at least on our street that was only plowed ONCE in 4 days) of snow that was beautiful to behold but made travel next to impossible. That in turn made getting out to do final shopping and other things that needed to be done well nigh impossible at what is usually a fun time of year doing "last minute" shopping and the like. Suffice to say that it all came together anyway.
We did however shift gears this year which has been quite a year of many gear shifts, and headed to Anderson, SC, to spend Christmas with Cassie's sister Vivian and her family with another family (The Parrishes) who live on Lake Hartwell that's right on the border of South Carolina and Georgia. Their daughter Ashly married Vivian and Bob's son Denny and they have the most gorgeous little baby daughter Macy Brooks who's charmed everyone here down to our very souls and who's really put a particularly huge warm fuzzy smack dab in the middle of our Christmas this year. She's so beautiful and reminds me mightily of the twins when they were babies. There's just something about an infant smiling at you that just takes everything else away. THANK YOU MACY BROOKS! We love you! I'll get Cassie on here later today to share her thoughts as she's a way better writer than I'll ever be.
We're gonna have a VERY MACY Christmas and God Bless us everyone.........and you too....* Merry Christmas!
Love to all,
sid
