On my way up I-55 to St. Louis on Sunday, I've been getting photo treats from friends and family to get me in the spirit. Michel sent the 411 winter wonderland and Kat sent their first ornament on the tree of this season; "Noel".
These trips are bittersweet these days. I look at 411 in the snow, and know it will be waiting there for me. But, Mom and Dad are elsewhere...tears of a Christmas with everyone elsewhere for the first time in more than 40 years. Sam (who will be locked in the bathroom until departure time) and I will be there to share Christmas and New Years and do whatever else might be needed to help out along the way.
I leave you with a little of our own inside winter wonderland on Columbus Street. Happy Holidays to All!
