Absentee Ballot

Even though we were socked in this year, and missed our annual escapade to Marbella's for Christmas; I just wanted to express our appreciation and admiration for the continuing efforts that little red hen has put into making this season special for our families. Every year, rain, ice-storms, snow or shine; whether she is sick, tired or chipper, there is always a porch light on for distant travelers and a big hug waiting at whatever wee hour they happen to stumble in.

I've always been amazed at the depths of her determination and passion to pull this rag-tag group together and make everyone feel that whatever the circumstance they were family and that meant they were loved. I don't care who gets the awards for the biggest light-shows in the city, her and Gem always are the brightest star on the horizon this time of year. Our deepest love and thanks!
