12th Day

Bidding farewell to the holidays and the southern winter. Soon we will be back north just in time for snow. Planning on a small cup of Mexican hot chocolate this evening to mark the 12th day of Christmas and end of the season. We'll lay the tree quietly to rest outside.

On New Year's Eve we enjoyed a pizza pie, again. It was much improved upon and even yummier than the previous one. That cozy meal was followed by fireworks, big and brilliant in the backyard. At midnight I toasted with sparkling cherry. My first alcohol free New Year's Eve since I was twelve.

Have been resting up and slowly gathering and organizing, preparing to take off again. I'll miss Texas, friends and family. However, I have come to love the excitement of new places, faces. Wishing you all a great year!
