[Magdalen] Christmas day 2

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Hello all - a funny but good Christmas here. Slow morning and then a call 
from my son to come over for gift giving with the two grandsons... and a 
lovely long visit into the mid afternoon. Wilson is now 2.5 and Carter 8 
months. Wilson talks up a storm and is finally happy to have a baby brother 
around. Then home again for a quiet evening and a late delicious dinner with 
Jim. Snow in the forecast this week down here.

Our temps have been jumping up and down like a pogo stick! My small condo is 
filled with the tropical plants from my patio as we had a freeze earlier in 
the month and a few scares since - however plants are bigger than in 
previous 9  years that I've been here  and are quite in the way. It looks 
rather like a jungle in here! With the forecast,  they'll likely be inside 
for a while.

I hope that all of your Christmases were 'just right' for you and yours.

love
Lynn
