Stateside for Christmas 2020

 The stockings were hung in the wine cellar with care... 

It was fun to decorate this year after not having one sign of Christmas in my home last year. Antartica turned out to be our favorite trip ever. Africa was pretty special, too. And then, the shit hit the fan in March or should I say COVID-19. PANIC!

Luckily, our family and friends have escaped illness so far. Everyone seems to be taking the pandemic seriously, although, folks up north seem to have way more challenges with lock-downs and mandates. We were able to follow CDC guidelines and do some traveling and attend small gatherings throughout the year with our quaranTEAM. The Sprinter van has been super fun and provides the prefect venue for social distancing travel. In fact, five of our friends bought RVs this year. 

2020 has been very positive in many ways. I have become a better cook, baker, well read, binge-watcher, journal writer, deepened spirituality, budding digital artist, cycling fan, beach walker, average golfer and an all-around healthier and stronger person. It was not a bad year at all really. Although, the general election of 2020 was a miserable time to be alive. 

With Trump fading into oblivion (is that possible?) it's a kinder, gentler media and world. There is no question in my mind that the election was rigged beyond all integrity and honesty. But, it's over and now we can only hope President-Elect Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris can keep the US afloat.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a better 2021!
