or perhaps I should say two admissions. This weekend, for the first time ever, I agreed to be described with two adjectives I generally wouldn't use to describe myself. At least not publicly. The first was at a party last night. The house was cozy with food and beverages and many familiar faces. It was … Continue reading Admit 2

Fits and starts and finishes
I was a little worried about December. The holiday stuff was firmly in hand - presents had been purchased, cards ordered, the boys had even selected the Christmas Eve menu (ham and a roasted chicken) and theme (festive party in the afternoon), but the first day was rough.
