Here’s the Christmas card you’re not receiving this year.

As you can see, the photo came out too dark when printed on the cards from CVS.  You can’t see Banjo Man’s face!  This photo was taken on our 50th wedding anniversary as we bundled up and shared a bottle of wine on the dock.

I wanted to send you a card that toasted the arrival of 2021.

At least that was the plan.

So I had to start over, meaning the cards will be late (again!) this year.

And I thought I was so organized this month!

But things are looking up, as the vaccine hits our hospitals today.  Medical staff are first in line.  Daughter Nancy should get her dose this week or next as we protect the nursing home residents and their caregivers.

It’s very exciting, especially since last week our state was listed as the “worst in the world” for virus infections.  No one knows why.  Rhode Islanders have been exceptionally obedient mask-wearers since May.

But…brighter days are ahead, right?
