"One more pic to finish off our year. As President of PTFCo, I want to thank our dolly friends for following our adventures for another year. We enjoy sharing them with you.
"This is our 'holiday' activity cos the weather has been awful. It's been so gloomy and dark and after the snow, now we have rain; it dumped all day so we didn't go anywhere.
"Looking at this photo, we are reminded of some things. The last 3 years have been a hard slog, and we keep hoping it'll get better. Like this picture, we hope our puzzle is nearly complete, and that a few last necessary pieces will be found and can be put into place.
"Also, not too long ago, we came across a little essay about how life is like a jigsaw puzzle. Everywhere you've been, everything you've done, is another piece that goes into the puzzle-picture of your life. We go through life collecting pieces and putting together our picture. When you start thinking 'what if' and looking beyond where you are now, maybe that's a sign that there are no more puzzle pieces to be collected where you are.
"That feels like where we are now. That maybe there aren't any more pieces to be found in our current home, and it's time to go somewhere else and collect some different ones. The fact that we can't seem to turn that last page on the longest saddest epilogue in this chapter, is something we really hope will change.
"We wish our friends a Happy New Year, and we hope that wherever you are, and wherever the coming year takes you, that you will find lots of bright and shiny pieces that will make your puzzle beautiful."
"Love, Sunsette "
