I am so far behind. I am so out of touch with the Soldiers Home. I am so sorry.
I’ve had this wonderful photo of Ray and me for two months. I was on my way to the annual Soldiers Home Christmas Bazaar and called him from the car (possibly illegally) to see whether he’d like to join me. He did.
We took a couple laps around Chilson Hall to scan all the goodies—stopping to talk to Dorothy, at her usual spot next to the giant Christmas tree, and to Greg, also in his usual spot, but with a new dog (!)—and settled in front of the fudge booth, so I could take some back to work.
We asked the fudge-booth lady to take our picture—and she did, about 40 times. She had shots of our torsos, of one head but not the other, of a random hand, of everything but both of us in the same frame at the same time, and we were laughing like eggnogged Christmas elves. But then, suddenly: a Christmas miracle!
Just to be safe, I took this selfie, too, which I love. And I thanked Ray for coming on such short notice. I love him, too.
