[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Thanks for your lovely remarks, my dear George!

My husband has a wicked funny streak, and when he has the right tools, he can be very funny! This is what you're seeing here.

I remember your photos from last year, your 60th anniversary, and so much has happened in the past year with you and it’s been an amazing journey we’ve been privileged to come along. Wishing both of you a healthy and happy year until we get to be with you on your 62nd anniversary 🌺

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Thank you so very much, my dear Deuxcents! Your comments are very right on.

This past year has been something else.

I really hope that my life will become waaaay more normal. Otherwise, the stress could shorten my life.
