We’re at my parents house for the weekend, enjoying their wonderful cooking {an assortment of delectable cookies, ribs last night, lamb roast tomorrow night, my mom’s special braided Christmas bread in the morning, and more}, watching the Chickadees flitting over to the feeder by the big bay-window, and taking long walks through the woods with the dogs.

Thinking about all of you, dear readers, and wishing you the merriest and brightest of holidays!
