Here are updates from Celina Harramis and her husband John, Cathy Sheehan, Connie Hayes and Linda Hines. 

Celina & John get the award for weathering their isolation best....why John seems to even have gotten younger!

Meet the Garden Guild's newest member whom Cathy Sheehan is sponsoring! Don't worry - Flower is female!

Robert and I have been seriously isolating every since last March. The highlight of our year was getting both of our Moderna vaccines! I finally got to see my sister when she flew down a couple weeks ago - it had been too long! We also added a little street dog, Charlie, to our family. 

I'm Charlie. Aren't I cute? Mama and Daddy are so lucky to have me!!

 Connie Hayes and Ralph have two new puppies, Tanner and Nora! Their beloved Cora gave birth about 11 weeks ago. Enjoy viewing Tanner and Nora's successful swimming lessons!

Is this not the cutest thing you've ever seen?!

Although Celina and John got the award for weathering the pandemic best, we've got some concerns about how Linda is doing.....
I hope everyone enjoys this little video. I decided not to include captions, as I felt it took away from the visual pleasure. Also, I wanted to keep the video under 4 minutes and with the need to allow time to read captions, that was not possible. I know everyone will recognize their own submission(s) and feel they may also be able to guess the submissions of others. The video is best viewed in full screen. Coinciding with the Winter Solstice which arrived at 5:02 this morning, I hope everyone will also go look to the SW sky tonight after sunset to view the alignment of Jupiter & Saturn.  from Justine Bertram
