All of us in the Grit family hope Santa brings you all you wish for this year. Have a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Wifegrit suggested I post this photo. She didn’t explain why she thought it would be good to post, but the more I sit here and look at it, the more it just makes me smile.

This is me and Calfgrit6, (obviously), taking a break from walking around a local park back in August. We were watching squirrels run around on the ground and up into the trees. (That’s why he’s looking down and I’m looking up).

It has taken me a few minutes of looking at this pic to figure out just exactly what about it I like. I mean, it’s pretty plain, with no action, and we’re not even facing the camera. But I’ve finally grasped what is so interesting about it, to me: it’s the contrast in our sizes. With CG6 standing up on the bench, we don’t just look short and tall, we look small and big. He’s like a little mini me, (no reference to the Austin Powers movie intended).
