The New Year starts now
I’ve actually been home for a few days, but they still felt like holiday days, mainly because Brother and the two boys came back to Christchurch with me. The trip to Christchurch was their (and my!)

thanks for the link to a thoughtful post and appeal for compassionate donations. I am preparing donation envelopes for a Nepal appeal at our church beginning this Sunday. They need every rupee they can get.
