FIRST FESTIVITIES OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON!
Traditionally, December 6th--the feast of St. Nicolas--is the official start of the Christmas season, so it was totally appropriate that the Bienvenidos Holiday luncheon fell on that day. It was a glittering affair with presents to share with others, elegant table decor, hand-made door prizes, a holiday menu, festive caroling, and lots of good cheer.

Bundled up for the weather--the temperature in Santa Fe today--Dec 7th , with the chill factor, is 7 degrees below zero. (Addendum: Temperature in Santa Fe on Dec 8th--the anniversary of John Lennon's death--with chill factor, 17 degrees below zero)

A lot of folks have requested an update and photos of Gretsky's recovery from surgery. She is doing exceptionally well. She is totally ambulatory, is eating well and is full of spirit. Giano is taking her for Chemo-Therapy every three weeks and he is thrilled with her progress.

Better, and ready for life

Still a beauty

Still streaking

Just curious, that all

An abundance of love

Still thinking about jumping
