If you are reading this - we made it. This year has been unusual, to say the least. Joan and I have become pretty good at being hermits, even when we're out and about with the motorhome. At home, we do fine keeping to ourselves. Rufus is the "wild card," and likes to be a social boy... I have to keep him reigned in at times when we're out for a walk.
This is a different Christmas Day for us. Instead of face-to-face, we will be FaceTiming with Steph and Dan in an hour or so. Rather than lament about not being together, I will delight in seeing their faces on my screen.
The house already smells good this morning: Joan is making cinnamon rolls to start our day.
Joan and I were talking about this year last night... she said it well: "Together, we can get through anything."
Another week and we can say good-bye to 2020. In the near term, I don't expect 2021 to be much different. But, there is hope on the horizon... and that is something to consider this Christmas Day.
Virtual hugs,
Jim, Joan and Rufus

Looking out our living room windows this morning, it is chilly (42º when we got up), but glorious: the sun is shining, blue sky, the wind isn't howling. It's a pretty start to the day.

FaceTiming...
Not the same as being there, but it was nice to visit with Steph and Dan this morning, and get close to our traditional gift opening...
Joan opening one of her presents...
This gift was for the both of us, but it is all about Rufus (there was a bit of a cat theme this year)...
Because... Rufus is such a good boy! Steph got one of those pillows for herself, with her 3 cats on it. We got to see the grandkitties when they panned the computer around. It was a nice visit.
