My Christmas photo card shows that while I may not have been home that much I enjoyed many “home” moments during the year. While up north this month, I managed to do a lot [...]]]></description>

As we have all come to our &#8220;new normal,&#8221; links to Grandma are everywhere around us. In the time since, we have found many ways to honor her memory.
