That’s my bathrobe hanging on the door. It’s the magic bathrobe. It got this name because if anyone can’t sleep, you just put the magic bathrobe over them and they go straight to sleep. It’s very reliable. I told the child about this and while we three were resting on the bed watching TV, I […]

The Christmas Village hasn’t been set up in years, but we brought it upstairs today. The kids helped. My parents gave this to us, one piece at a time, over years. It’s the Alps, Heidi, and the Uncle and Peter and the goats. It’s very sweet. While we were doing this, a mouse kept
We were tired today, not sure how far we’d get with this Christmas crap. But first we replaced all the bulbs inside Santa, and he’s looking good. Late in the afternoon, we brought up the tree. She was hard at work on a project. Thanksgiving had to be put away. Eventually Jay bought a new
