Merry Christmas! Love your card. Tom is talented! I remember you telling us about his paintings at WIFYR, so it's fun to see these.

Just thought you should know: a friend of mine just posted something on facebook that reminded me of your essay "Thoughts of a Grasshopper." So I sent her a link to it, and reread it myself. It made me just as happy as I remember it making me feel. Thank you Louise, you are a blessing.
