Happy Christmas from Valley Lodge!

XOXO, Alex, Darlene & Vince

Our second son Nick, a United States Marine, could only get a week off from the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA where he is a cyber linguist studying Korean. Not long enough to join us in South Africa for Christmas this year. He is skiing with my sister Cheryl and her family in mainland Colorado instead. Our first Christmas apart! Sadly, probably not the last ...

Missing you Nick my love! Thank you Cheryl and Richard, Jill and Patrick for taking him in!

Merry Christmas to all our family and friends around the world and to all a good night!!!
