Christmas in the USA

We've had the privilege of spending the holidays with friends and family in the US this year. While we miss our friends in Spain very much, it's been good to see our children and grandchildren (see photo above). We spent our family Christmas last week in Charlotte, NC, at Daniel and Virginia's home. We were able to see my sister and her husband in Memphis this weekend and are spending the next week in Little Rock, AR, with Barbara's mother and her family. Merry Christmas to all with all the blessings of the season.

Back in the USA

We've spent the past month in the US after Barbara had to return for surgery for a ruptured disc. The surgery went well, and her recuperation progressing nicely. It's given us a chance to reconnect with friends in the Knoxville/Oak Ridge, TN area. Also, we've had the opportunity to spend time with our children and grandchildren, including new granddaughter, Ella Katherine (in photo with Barbara), born October 20th. We'll spend Christmas with Barbara's mother in Arkansas before returning to Madrid on January 4th.
