... Christmas. Thank you, John Lennon. And Paul McCartney. I appreciate this opportunity to match Christmas and Beatles music. Ok, not Beatles any more, but you know what I mean. https://youtu.be/QHLd7HQfZfA I've had a lovely day so far, and have enjoyed everything from opening presents to writing this blog post! In fairness, I'll tell you … Continue reading So This Is…

On the Eve…
For children, and even some adults, Christmas Eve sits on the verge of joy. “Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than … Continue reading On the Eve…
Just One More Day…
Just stopping in for a quickie - no, not that kind... {haha} Here's another terrific Christmas song - a new rendition of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. You have to listen all the way to the end to appreciate it. {I think another blogger turned me on to this... if she or he sees this, please … Continue reading Just One More Day…
Three More Days and Counting…
Today, I'm making vegetable soup and cookies. And tonight, we're going to do our annual drive-around-and look-at-lights with the grands. At least, that's the plan. Also, I need to do some clean-up, straightening and organizing. And probably 30 other things that just aren't on the list yet. So it will help if I get started … Continue reading Three More Days and Counting…
Winter Solstice 2019
Winter Solstice, when the day is shortest, the night is long and often cold. I found this lovely article 13 Fascinating Winter Solstice Traditions Around the World. It's pretty interesting. But the Winter Solstice tradition - or ritual - that I am most drawn to is the one that involves writing down the things you … Continue reading Winter Solstice 2019
5 Days and Counting
That's days til Christmas you know, and the preparations have pretty much taken over my life. All my intentions to write {14} of Lucas and Sofia? Not likely to happen. Not today anyhow. I woke up too early, again, and am also not being very productive. Sigh. I just read this article that says getting … Continue reading 5 Days and Counting

More Celebration
Not feeling dreadfully celebratory today, but working on it. Actually starting this post from the doctor’s office, waiting for the doctor. Already saw a resident, so they’re consulting now. {Edited to add: I left the doctor soon after that, before I could write any more.} {7 hours later} Got home from the doctor and have … Continue reading More Celebration
Holiday Celebrations 2019
I have had kind of a killer day. Dentist in the early morning, clients pretty much all day the rest of the day. One very bright spot was reading the comments on Lucas and Sofia, so I really appreciate that. There were other bright spots, but at the end of the day, I'm just tired. … Continue reading Holiday Celebrations 2019
Nope
And today, I was still pretty much super busy. Sorry. I added three paragraphs to the next installment of Connections. And I don't really have anything worthwhile to say. I have rebounded from my depths of despair, closed down the pity party and am excited that the weekend starts tomorrow. It's getting close to Christmas, … Continue reading Nope
