Christmas and New Years are over.

Christmas and New years are over and its back to work and to school. In these times we should all be thankful that we have something to go back to. All the reports from the family are good although we all have some worries about the future. Hopefully the new administration in Washington will have the solutions that they promised.
I was watching a 4 hour special about the FDR administration and the great depression and the steps that were taken to get us out of the depression. It wasn't easy and it took a long time. It really didn't happen until the industrial buildup for WWII. But this is a different world so I don't think it is fair to compare the two eras. The one thing that we can take from the two times is that we should control our own spending.
We had a good Christmas and New Years. I can't remember the last time I stayed up until midnight on New Years Eve. Mom and I recieved a new king size bed from all of you. I think it is bigger than our first apartment. Mom is sleeping much better because she can't hear my snoring.
Eileen, Thom, Conner and Ami were visiting over the holidays. It was great to see them and the children are so very cute.
Thanks to your generosity I was able to give $525 to the St. Vincent ds Paul Society in the Meehan name.
