She’s had this little lump on her eyelid for about a year and it had to finally come off. Twelve hundred dollars. I teased that I could do it with a nail clipper, but that’s not true. Anyway. She’s doing well. Onward Love, Val

It snowed today like crazy, a true blizzard. Alicia sent this on Instagram, truly suitable for framing. Elin is feeling good, eating and drinking, able to get around a little bit, accepting our help getting up. We slept with her in the family room last night, just to be safe. After a while, he went
