Happy Happy Joy Joy
Playdate then to N’s to open presents and drink Baileys and tea and do a little twist and that was the most fun opening presents I’ve ever had! Then a chicken bath and a long long run and then home to bathe and scrub the watermark off of Arlene once and for all. Porch sitting with L then to see the girls and light the menorah armed with one of N’s delicious satsuma pies. Now N&B, L and J, W&B, dogs and all are sitting around a delicious crown roast with mirliton dressing, creamed spinach and lots of yummy desserts.
It’s all goody. We got through 2005 – almost.
I have nice images of the past two days – L on the floor at the record store going through albums trying to find the exact right ones. Arlene’s water mark almost coal black. N soaked from rain at the door. All of us this morning with our hats and blinking noses and reindeer ears walking and laughing on the bayou. The stubborn nutria dog paddling along the sides of the bayou. A red bangle that makes me smile. A present to N&B from Ray. And I’ve run out of green shirts so it’s time to end Christmas.
