On December 28, 2009, transportation workers from New York and Vermont demolished the bridge that had spanned the southern part of Lake Champlain for 80 years.

Though that didn't stop people from trying to see. 1.5 miles was parked solid with cars and people on the Vermont side.

Today Ms Sally sat in her favorite chair, and posed like an angle with her Santa hat on for my 2009 card and walked off the set.  With my back turned, she swiped another Santa hat  and triumphantly dragged it from her mouth onto the studio set, posing for her portrait, yet once again.
