Very sorry there are government employees working and NOT being paid over this holiday week. Ridiculous. Hoping people are particularly kind to them. Be Merry & Bright -- it makes a difference.
Catching up with friends traveling all over the country today by phone and text. So glad we are not going anywhere. Home, safe, sound, snug. It's been a busy year and I've been working a lot, so it's like a vacation to just visit my own house. Our new fireplace is a big treat.
