A Leon Day picnic sounds fun. Unfortunately, it falls on a work day this year. Maybe in the future. We put up a small tree for Christmas in July, so I don’t really want to pull it out again in June. Glad to hear you are recovered!
I listened to this again in anticipation of this year’s Leon Day and am wondering what a Leon Day picnic would consist of, maybe that should be a part of the podcast……
Great podcast, as always Tim! I’m glad you’re back home and feeling better. I was lead to your podcast about 2 months ago from a friend on a Christmas forum and have finally listened to all the podcasts. Which is now kind of a let down as I became accustomed to listening to a new (to me) podcast every couple of days. That’s right, 37 podcasts in less than 60 days. It was quite enjoyable. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the June episode of the Can’t Wait for Christmas podcast!
Wow, that Port Townsend place sounds great, but was everyone a relative up there? Sounds like your Mom had a good time (under the circumstances) during your recovery. Welcome back.
