Halfway Brook Friends,

I hope everyone is staying well and warm with all the snow, ice, and cold this winter. It was 30 degrees here in Cave Creek, AZ when I got up this morning. A bit cold for this time of year here, but nothing like what other parts of the country are facing.

I am disappointed to report that the latest proof copy of Abby, Laurilla, and Mary Ann did not come close to being approved. We are currently looking into a new printer, in hopes that will work. I’ll update you when I have news of the imminent availability of Abby, Laurilla, and Mary Ann.

Meanwhile, I hope to post some more excerpts or images from Abby, Laurilla, and Mary Ann, though not in chronological order.

I collected a number of sleighing images for Abby, Laurilla, and Mary Ann. I thought Halfway Brook readers might enjoy this one which was not used. (Click on it twice to get the full size.)

Until next time,

Louise

    Thanks for the post, Louise. I’m sorry about the printer. My favorite pic is the one on the lower right. Those horses aren’t pulling a sleigh; they’re pulling a boat!

    Thanks Matt! Yes, isn’t that a hoot, a boat that is a sleigh.—Louise.
