    Oh Ross,
    Merry merry to you. I’ve been looking forward to this photo this year. It’s the signal for me that the Christmas season is upon us. I send you positive energy, peace and joy for the rest of the year and next.

    You’re a fantastic example of what one man can do. By your slow, methodical perseverance of tackling of jobs big and small, you’re changing things little by little for the better. Not just for the Cross house, but for me too. You’re such an inspiration and a motivator to me. Thank you for your continued dedication to your house and its continued improvement. Thank you too, for being authentic and charming in the way you share your thoughts and accomplishments. It’s a pleasure for me to read and become immersed in your writing and photos. It’s like you give me a gift almost every day. How generous of you. 🙂

    May this Christmas season bring with it many moments that make you pause in wonder and joy.

    • Ross on December 6, 2020 at 11:31 pm

Thank you for setting such an incredible example of what one person is capable of. May 2021 bring many lovely things to the Cross House. Your innovative and unique approach to decor is a constant joy to watch. Sending applause and hugs your way from Ohio.
