Nature is still in control of our lives. Because of freezing rain, Christopher and Tisha had to stay home from New Year's Eve frivolities and so there was no need for an Evan-sitter. It was a disappointment for a five year old and his doting grandmother but we made the best of it by Skyping with noisemakers and shouts of "Happy New Year".
Snow upset friends' plans in England as well, though nothing could keep Bernie from celebrating fireworks in Amsterdam. Meanwhile, I am trying to contact friends halfway around the world in Queensland, Australia to see if their homes are safe from raging floods there. In my youth, we would have waited anxiously for letters from those abroad. Now we find out in a matter of minutes how loved ones are faring.
Thus the internet keeps us in contact with friends and family. It is one of the great blessings technology has given us.
Happy New Year to all!!
