David, we'll be with you in spirit during the holidays so it'll seem like
you have extended family with you. When I lived in Canada, I didn't have
relatives around, but I do have in-laws around now. In any case, I spent
lots of time reading using my APH recorder or talkingbook machine, and I
preferred the former in most cases. Reading kept me busy when I could not be
with someone.
Ruthie,
