  1. Thank you for sharing these pictures. I can appreciate your thoughts about the enormity of it all. Life back at home is different, and yet we can reflect on a productive year with lots of safety procedures. Hope you have more "ah ha" moments as you begin to transition back to Florida greenery and sunshine. See you soon! Love always, andee
