This is the cat painting I gave Jean for Christmas. I think she likes it.
Ice on the canal tonight, but barely.

1988
We’ve had warm and sunny weather here in England – had to don the shades. Spent Christmas with Ralph’s mom. She didn’t know we were coming – we just showed up at her door on Christmas Eve draped in ribbons and balloons (couldn’t fit down the chimney). Then off to Liverpool to “Meet the Beatles”, cruise down Penny Lane, and hang out in those Strawberry Fields Forever. We’re now back in London, Gallery hopping and window shopping.
Best wishes for 1988!
