Merry Christmas to my friends who celebrate. Happy Vacation Time and Chinese Food Day to my friend who don’t.

We’ve been cooking and shopping since 8am. It’s a small gathering of 14 this year, but we’re still having a dozen different dishes. I’ll share pictures later. 

After Christmas, we’re going to one of these ski/water park places in Pennsylvania for three days. I might work when I’m there, because I have a deadline and don’t really enjoy skiing. I like the idea of skiing, but I didn’t learn until I was in my twenties, so I have “the fear.” This place is great, because they offer adaptive ski lessons, so even Ian can ski better than I can.

I think I’ll be back and forth here during the next week, but there’s no guarantee.

Thanks, all, for visiting this little blog over the years. You’re the only reason I keep it going. Hugs to all! Laura
