Dear Care Bears,                                                                                                                                     12/18/16
The large package of Christmas Card came last Thursday and I was so thrilled and did not think there were that many friends who knew me. It was such a blessed experience opening and reading them. I only wish I could answer each one - when I write a little my letters get smaller and smaller. I just wish everyone a blessed celebration of the birth of our Jesus and that 2017 will be good for you. When I look at 2017 I think 1922 was a long time ago!!! and then I say, "Thank You, Lord!" Much love to all and many thanks! George Adamson
