The Eve of Christmas

 It's a happy time for us, visiting two out of the thirteen original colonies for some generational mixing and mingling. 

As happy as I am right now, there are others who are probably even more cheerful this holiday season.  Most notably, New Yorker Kevin Depaolo and the Moore Family of Tennessee.  Kevin, crushed by a 10,000 pound boulder, was rescued after ten hours and survived with all his limbs intact.   Four month old baby Moore was sucked up by a tornado earlier this month and found just fine in a fallen tree when the storm passed. 

Glad tidings indeed.  Can't stop thinking about these stories. Both occurred in this final month of the year.
