We have a nice snuggly storm here, which is rare. even when we had plenty of rain and wind back home, i loved it.
the holiday is begun, and sad to say we are gritting our teeth and wishing it was over. our families were so different, back when, and they are all so far away. and times are real lean, puppy is feeling sick, and we realize that there are many with more trouble than ours...
we get tweaky and impatient, and this time of year is an endurance contest. we remind ourselves that some years were even less (um) satisfactory, and boy that doesnt really cheer you up!
be safe, gather together. tell people that you love them.
