Christmas lights in the rain

tree at the end of our snow-less, puddle-ridden driveway



Sometimes the annual updates in Christmas cards bear sad news... One arrived in our mailbox today with mention that our lovely former neighbor Peg in Florida had passed away, a few years after her husband Ed. We couldn't have had better neighbors on that little cul-de-sac - where we argued over silly things like whose trees were spreading Spanish moss to the others. Ed enjoyed telling the story of how he first met Peg, sighting* her as she emerged around the corner of a building in Boston (where Ed was stationed during WW2 before he was deployed)... I like to imagine them rounding corners and finding each other again now.

*originally I spelled it "siting" - and actually that kind of works too, according to how Ed told the story ;)
