The trouble with being a reasonably regular poster is that people start to worry when you get too busy to write. When someone in Europe asks your daughter if everything's okay because she hasn't seen you on Facebook lately...you have to start thinking maybe your online life has been a little too active. Be that as it may, herewith a few highlights. Recently we have:
- Awakened to a Winter Wonderland.
- Shovelled two and a half feet of snow.*
- Zoomed down a hill on fast sleds.
- Enjoyed hot cocoa and a toasty fire.
- Played games. Lots of games.
- Celebrated a nephew's first college acceptance letter.
- Finished (although that's a relative term) a huge genealogical Christmas present project. (To be posted here eventually.)
- Enjoyed cello, clarinet, and guitar music (though not enough).
- Listened to Bartholomew's Passage.
- Made dream cookies.
- Ate dream cookies. And kringle. And M&Ms.
- Watched A Charlie Brown Christmas.
- Stayed up too late.
- Had a wonderful time visiting friends and family.
- Sneezed. (Some of the friends and family had cats.)
- Played at the Connecticut Science Center.
- Enjoyed a few presents and a whole lot of presence.
And it's not even Christmas yet!
*The more astute of you will note that some of these activities are highly unusual for Florida. You may use this to support your own cherished view of climate change, or conclude that perhaps we were altogether elsewhere for at least part of the time.
