merry merry

i’ll be spending time with my family for the next few days, so i’ll take the time now to say thanks for reading, thanks for looking and thanks for listening. i’ve enjoyed hearing from you all year long in my email box and also in the comment boxes. i am grateful to feel connected to so many people from everywhere on the map, quite literally. i’ve had close to a half a million people cruise through this little place here this year. i can hardly believe it!

to the 4 visitors from fiji, i say bula vinaka and welcome!

to the cherished group of you that pop by on a regular basis, i say thank you for your support, humor and encouragement. i hope we all can continue to add a little joy to each others’ daily lives in 2009.

i don’t want anyone to think i’m playing favorites in my flickr stream, so here’s kaiser, my great big ten year old greater swiss mountain dog.

his breed used to pull the butcher’s carts in the alps, but this guy thinks he’s from jamaica and hates the cold. he looks awfully handsome in it though!
