Besides wishing I had a river I could skate away on, I’ve been trying to stay cheerful during this holiday season, just floating along and taking it as it comes. It would help, I think, if it would finally SNOW here in Ohio, but that happened in November, I guess. No more snow for us. There have been some really bright moments, however, and I’m trying to let them illuminate the rest of this dreary time. Boy, I really sound like a Scrooge. I’m not, I promise. It’s just, Christmas.
Gingerbread is fun.

Lovely photos of the dope squads. Piper cub is such a cutie.
The Christmas bleh is nearly impossible to avoid. Not sure how it’s going to hit me this year with Mom being gone for the first time. I worry about Dad a little bit, but as he says, Mom is gone whether or not it’s a holiday.
