To friends and loved ones near and far, good friends on Open Salon, all the best at the holidays and always.

The photo is one taken of us on the beach at 505 Front Street, Lahaina, Maui, a few years ago at the Feast at Lele. It seemed to be right for this card.
Below is the letter I enclosed this year.
May your holidays be joyous, filled with love and laughter, and may the new year bring you peace and prosperity.
To those of you who've extended friendship and supported my writing here, my many thanks. I look forward to your continued participation and contributions here.
May you be blessed,
Kathy

What a nice Greeting.
You sent a nice card.
I've been collating and reading letters home from an airman who didn't make it home, so I know what you mean about the insights. I feel like I know the man in a way I couldn't have in real life. Worst problem I have had so far is dealing with the fact that I know the ending of the story.
