December Miscellany
Decorating a Christmas tree by yourself has got to rank high among depressing experiences, but, hey, I had three dogs for company tonight. Then I checked my email and found a friend had sent me one of those collections of reminders of how blessed we are -- and I am! Also in the mail was a picture of Carolina's baby, now doing better, still in hospital but able to breathe on her own. Thanks for the prayers for this little girl.
I made a slew of Christmas cookies today. Good thing, too, because having the oven on helped me avoid the reality of the plummeting temperature outside. Did I mention yet that I hate winter? Even the dogs aren't dawdling in the backyard and the screen door is frosting up very artistically.
