Dear All, Hello from Washington again. It is, as Kristen said, very,very damp here in our part of the world. I know that we have all the jokes about rain, like buying a teeshirt that says, "we don't tan, we rust" and "slugs vacation here", but the 26 days of rain so far are even getting us natives down. And it really hasn't been flooding here in Whatcom County where Bellingham is like it has down around Seattle and south. Vonnie and I are also still working on Christmas things, Brandi. We are slow, slow, slow. But a few years ago, a package that had been sent to Paris returned to us accidentally, was 5 months on the road, and we braved eating the cookies. Surprise, they were still delicious and seemingly fresh. So now, we pace as we pace and may be only slightly behind the three wise men date in finishing the mailings. I have enjoyed reading everyone's postings and hearing so much family thought in one place. Very nice. Love, Llew
