Sky Blue Pink


Sunset view from the beach at Cane Garden Bay

Dec. 25
       When we were kids our Dziadzia (Grandpa) would sometimes take us to Mass on Sunday mornings.  Whenever he did, he always took us to the soda shop inside the Rexall Drug Store afterwards for ice cream.  One of our favorite flavor choices was Sky Blue Pink.  Today I cannot recall exactly what it tasted like, but I do clearly remember the delicate blend of hues & the way it made us feel. 
      In years past, Dan & I have spent a few Christmases away from home and phone conversations had to suffice. Today we were truly blessed to spend Christmas with our family and friends via Skype video calls.  Our toddler grandchildren (Mino, Lyla, Maya, and Genna) showed us the gifts Santa brought.  We visited screen-to-screen with Mom, Dad, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, cousins, and aunts and it made our Christmas extra special!  
     The sunset today was sky blue pink and was the perfect way to end a Christmas Day spent far from our dearest family & friends.
