[Billie]

We finished our dinner a couple of hours ago and company has just left; we're just unwinding, and of course I wanted to check in with the Finest, and, who, oh my goodness, seeing you here is the best Christmas I can imagine! How WONDERFUL to see you, not just once but a number of times this evening.

I love you, whoever, and thank you so very, very much for joining us on this precious day.

Good evening, Billie Did you get my e-mail?

[whoever]

Thanks for permitting me ---- not everyone would, you know. Just think of Skinny!

It is a blessed Day, is it not? Billie. Glory to God in the Highest. I am glad He gave me strength today to praise His name and to greet my friends. I am not sure when I will be back on, but, today was special and I took advantage of it.

Now, though, I am back to my 'quarters'.

The Lord Bless thee and keep thee while we are absent one from the other.
