Beautiful, Jolene! I’ve always loved Karen Carpenter. Her voice is so rich and velvety. I wanted to play the drums like she did. Such an incredible artist! I really enjoy the little details you discover and reveal in your writing. Your Advent-ture has been a wonderful treat. Enjoy all the celebrations, friend.
It’s Christmas morning here and I’m just doing some final food preparation! I’ve loved your advent calendar - it’s been a joy to read each day. Merry Christmas, Jolene!

Thank you, friend! So glad you mentioned Karen’s drum skills, she was so good! And that voice! Onward to the New Year, Amy!
Of course, mi hermana! It was rare to see a woman drummer and yes, she was incredible. Onward to the New Year, Jolene!
