My Rapunzel group has been getting together to celebrate Christmas for over 35 years. We always have a delicious lunch with plenty of desserts and, in recent years, have adopted Vicki’s tradition of bringing small gifts for everyone. This year we were not only missing Vicki, who passed away six years ago, but also Nevin who has moved to Southern California (but joined us today by phone!). Our gatherings may be smaller, but our bond is as strong as ever!
We were at Georgia’s house this year- look at her mother’s collection of beautiful official White House ornaments lining the staircase. Wow!

A very rare group of women! Love you all, and miss those who are no longer with us. It was a fabulous day. We had to open the door to let some of the love out!
