2020 Top Ten Lists

What a year to put in the rear view mirror.

We were all in the same storm, but not all in the same boat.

It was a year to muddle through, somehow.

Here, in no particular order, are my favorites.

With gratitude for silver linings, learning new ways of doing things, the hope of a new administration and a vaccine.

  1. Hi Rosie –

    Love all your top ten suggestions! Thank you. We’re all well but weary with 2020. First time in 30 years I’m not sending a card but if we get a family snap, I’ll send you one.
    Love, Margaret

  2. Thank you, Rosie – and Merry Christmas to you and all the LaBontes! Have a great, although probably different, day! Much love to all!

  4. Rosie – Love the lists. Give my best to Walt and the girls.

    We have three in college this year, although they’ve been home doing the “remote” learning, more than they’ve been on campus. Weird how I’m still paying for their housing though…

    Here’s to a simpler, healthier 2021.

  5. To Rosie and family — It was good to hear from you. Glad to hear you survived 2020 and all the best for 2021 from the Agnew/Morans. What are the girls up to? Saw Duncan and Kathy Agnew in early 2020 when they were in DC for a 3 month sabbatical/research project (which got cut short). The rest of the Agnew family (Isabel and Douglas (along with wife and child) were also here.
