We had a social Sunday, with a brunch at a friend's house and dinner for our younger daughter's birthday. There were four kids at the brunch including a 3 week old baby, and a great grandmother who is ninety. I got to see people I seldom see and meet the baby. It was super cold for us yesterday, and I ended up wearing my coat inside the house for a while before dinner. I hope our outside plants survive. It's supposed to be cold all week, but not quite as cold as yesterday.
Today we're getting our tree and begin the long process of dragging up the boxes of decorations, sorting through, and figuring out what's missing. My poor husband does all the heavy lifting, and this year, with my bad foot, it will be even worse for him. But we both like the transformation that gradually occurs, and he's especially keen on the tree. I forget what I have tucked away, so there are usually pleasant surprises and memories triggered. I keep all of the old pet stockings, which gives me an opportunity to think fondly of them again.
