Amy, Chris, Neil & I took a little jaunt out to the Bay Area this weekend. It was exceedingly fun. We stayed with a college roomate of Neil's right downtown in the Nob Hill area. We toured around and in 3 days managed to visit old friends & catch all of the major sites- SFMOMA, Fishermans's warf, Union Square, Golden Gate park/bridge, Chinatown.... it was great.
Anne sent me some of her favorite Pooh-isms, and I wanted to share.
Someone should write one of those books about Pooh - - - you know: "All I Ever Needed to Know, I Learned from Pooh"
Hey! Maybe I'll call my publisher!!!
:)
Happy New Year Y'all!!!!

"Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon."
"Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo."

"Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day."
The Kelly/Welsh/Ransom/Jack families ring in the New Year in fine fashion with plenty of fireworks and sparklers galore.
