DON'T FORGET OUR VETERANS, PAST AND PRESENT.

I hope your personal fight with the virus is short lived. And wow about the water and all the flooding. This has been a terribly tough one of many of you guys.

and we fuss at a little rain and cold.
Love and best wishes at this wonderful timeof the year!!

I hope your health is good, and I hope that the flooding subsides! I can relate, parts of Quebec are also in danger of flooding. Greetings from Montreal.
