Merry Christmas One and All!

Because of the holiday, this will probably be my last blog post until early next week. I want to make sure and wish all my blogging friends and visitors a wonderful Christmas Holiday. I am eagerly looking forward to our continued conversation about books, art, old movies and whatever comes our way. Here's hoping we all have the happiest of New Years!

I never suspected, when I first began this blogging venture in July 2010, just how much it would come to mean to me. (And how much I would enjoy it.) I never thought anyone would be interested in hearing what I had to say about anything. I though I'd wind up just keeping a kind of journal which only me and maybe my family would read. But still I tried to make it as good looking and informative as I could (within my own limited tech-experience which isn't saying much). So all of your comments and positive feedback have come as a bit of a surprise and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I think this Norman Rockwell painting expresses the joy of a Christmas homecoming perfectly - don't you? Notice the man with the pipe, that is Norman Rockwell himself.
