For all those who don't know, Sheila made it home in unbelievable time in her new/old Ford Escort. She got to Massachusetts the first night and home by 6pm the second! Mom would be delighted to know that her little car was so lovingly tended by Mike Gisondo before it left Ohio. I was hoping to have him do MY timing belt, but I think I'd better get that done BEFORE we next drive to Ohio!
Like Tom, I am planning to take tomorrow off to reflect on Papa; it seems unbelievable that a year has already passed. Snow is expected tonight, and of course our sole gas heater suddenly stopped working, but who can get a plumber before Christmas! Fortunately, we have a load of firewood in the garage ready to stoke the kiva. I'll take a long winter walk tomorrow - sorry, Pa, my knees are too creaky to run - and think about all the wise and witty ways of Bill.
I have to work on Christmas Eve morning, but I got Christmas Day off this year. We have Jessica and the kids for Dinner on the Eve; making a rack of lamb, think about that, Mama, HEAVENLY! I hope the holiday apron that Ellen and Sheila sent will prevent me from over-cooking that expensive piece of protein! Talk to you all over the next few days, and in the meantime, stay warm and ENJOY!
