Quick post

Today is the last full day of our Christmas vacation. We're flying back tomorrow, armed with suitcases packed to the gills with extra stuff, and we're looking forward to our own bed. I'm unlikely to be able to post again until after the new year so I'll say Happy New Year now, from beautiful snowy Kansas. As always, while we're eager to get back home, leaving our true home is bittersweet. Here's to a peaceful and happy 2008. We'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
