Tricky Day Today

For several reasons in fact.

We are starting our journey home.

A year ago was when Peter started having his stroke in the last afternoon at Disney Hollywood and our lives were radically changed.

And something else I care not talk about right now.

Yesterday my youngest brother, his wife and children joined us in Atlanta. Caroline got to spend time with her cousin who is not much more than a month older than her. Caroline and her cousin love each other very much and getting the two of them together is a treat for them both.

Christmas was nice. I will be putting together a photo essay of one of Caroline’s presents since my brother created a quest for her to find her present. As per the usual, he out did himself. Now I have to figure out the safe way to get this precious item home in one piece. Caroline is very happy with her haul and wants to get home so she can play with all her new toys and wear her new spiffy outfits.

I am still processing Doctor Who so the New Who Review will probably be Monday but I did see it. It was not perfect but neither was it a horror show to me.

The Christmas movie was Frozen. We all had fun seeing it again.

Now with Christmas cookies eaten, presents given, and joy enjoyed, it is time for us to head home and get ready for 2014. May it be better than 2013 but more on that later in the week/next week.

One more plug for the fundraising effort for my friends J & A who have had a rather unlucky year with their only means of transport stolen right after they finished a charity event for Toys For Tots. You can find the information about it here. If you can help please do and sharing the site with others does really help. I have known these guys for almost 30 years and they are very generous to others with what they have and now they need others to do the same.

I hope your holiday time was all you needed it to be.

I am grateful for friends and family.
