Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season, dear friends! We hope that y’all are enjoying a respite from the rush and craziness and stress for the next few days.

Santa came to the farm a few days early. He said that we (Ben) had worked so hard this year, we (Ben) deserved a break from the power tools and should enjoy a little R&R. Because road trips are our favorite way to travel, we headed south. We are enjoying a quiet holiday overlooking the water and watching some mean storms roll in while we lounge in rocking chairs on a screened porch. Perfect!

Lucky for us, Jeff is back at Cockamamy, putting the finishing touches on a few of his mostly finished projects. We’ll be back at work—and posting all about it—next week.

Hope Santa is just as good to you!
