After nearly 3 months in France Jenna is headed home. She had beautiful snow her last day, which she loved. Unfortunately that same storm has knocked out travel in Europe causing numerous delays. She missed her Lufthansa connecting flight to LAX from Frankfurt and called here at 4 AM to tell her dad they were putting her on a plane to Vancouver. Then she will get on a United flight to LA and if all goes well will be at LAX at 8:20 this evening - 8 hours later than originally scheduled. Please keep good thoughts that she'll have no more delays! I cannot wait to hug her - missing that girl!!

I got some of that snow here in the east of England.

Stayed in the house all day — I wasn't going out in that cold weather.

Your daughter will be telling tales of her sojourn into the new year!

 :2thumbsup; Great news! while France and Germany ( lived 2 1/2 years in Germany and visited my first wife's relatives in France during Christmas and New Years) are nice this time of year, there nothing like being with your family for the holidays. Have a great Christmas. I can't pull up santa smily, so pretend it is here.
