ok, so the mean mamma has a soft place in her heart for christmasletters- personal ones are better, but since i don't even do that other than a short note ont he bottom of a longer xeroxed copy- i will not complain in this forum........i received a BATCH of cards today from most of my favorite people- which reminds me that i have yet to send out the cards that i wasn't sure on newest address- i have also not sent the card to germany to edwin and anna- have also just located that address.......it hardly seems like a year since we landed in brussels and drove down to strasbourg....etc......i would like to go back to amsterdam some day.....we didn't have enough time there...
