Happy New Year - it's been a while.  I want to list the best of 2014, but first a question, a question I heard sung this summer by Judy Collins - "Who knows where the time goes?"  She talked about the song writer, Sandy Denny, a young girl of only 19 when she wrote the lyrics.  How was she so wise at such an early age?

Anyway, the best of the last:

April in Wellfleet with Laura for her 50th, joined with Jer and Gabi, the seafood, the beaches, the sand piled high from the winter storms, and then the snow, beautiful on the sand.

May the baby turkeys, 15 little yellow balls of fuzz, down, down in numbers, until seven remained, and returned daily, until you could barely tell the difference in size from the mother and babies

July, of course, the family excursion to Wellfleet, the new big house to explore, the animal in the attic, the above named concert, Crissy and the fundador, and the cocktail party at Rachael's house with the view worth a million dollars.

September with Paul, boys and Maureen at the cabin, raining, but still fun and a picture of Daddy on the wall to enjoy.

October was the Street Painting, with Atticus, Regina, Ava, Sabra and family and visit from Liz, Vivien, and Rob...and Michael to help with the Red Riding Hood.  Then the Oysterfest and a picture taken with my old friend Caleb, who looked and sounded healthy and happy.

November the announcement of a new great grandchild, to come in 2015 and in December a concert in the Middle School with Solomon's jazz group doing Autumn Leaves that brought the tears.

The best of course, is little Vivien, who came into this family two months early, tiny but complete and who now is big and beautiful and every picture posted of her brings a smile.  Happy New Year , we will never know where the time goes and what it will bring but we are starting our new adventure.
