We missed Casey...but sweet Shannon came anyway! What a sweet heart! Casey is the FIRST baby I ever watched grow. A dear boy...kind and sweet, despite his devilish good looks and charm. Shannon and Casey are expecting their first born January 23... Can't wait. Where does the time go? Retrospectively, thank you, Margi and Tom for sharing your sons with us as we shared our sons, Seano and Patrick with you and Deedy...Those willing to connect. Connections, sharing, kindness. (Love...) It truly makes the world go round.

We got on the plane late Sunday afternoon in CA with sandals, relaxed and appreciative of family and friends. (Sharon (my Sharon) AND Casey (Shannon's Casey) ...sorry about the leaks...we DID miss you...We will reschedule soon :-) Shame on me. Crazy busy schedule prevented me from "doing the math" of time/change. I thought we arrived home in KC around 10 p.m. Actually it was 1:06 a.m when we "touched down". From 80 degrees to snow on the ground. Regardless, I do love the winter skies, sunrise and sundown and snow for Thanksgiving and Christmas. (Christmas ideas? SOCKS!) \\\

Below, more about Twilight, the series. Bought book 4 in CA and ALMOST finished on the return ride home, but for running into old KC/RHS parents returning from Vegas. Bob Stoke's parents say HEY, Patrick!

Possibly finishing the book tonight before a long CRAZY day in court tomorrow.

Taking a 4 generation of WOMEN photo for Margarita, her daughter, granddaughter and great granddaughter next Saturday.

Peter moves in Wed. night.

David is in town...too.

I hear Pluto, Venus and a slither of a moon will make history in the December sky tonight.
Look UP :-) Just finished 4 rounds in a very hot hot tub to compensate for the MILES we hiked in the CA hills (without proper shoes :-()

Love...Robin/MOM
