[Magdalen] Even the worms...

[Lynn Ronkainen]

It's climbing to 80 and beyond here in Houston today, tomorrow....  reminds 
me of my first Christmas here - moved in about a month before.... so HOT on 
Christmas there was moisture from the humidity on our covered patio (not 
screened in, just covered) and for the first time in  our lives we had a 
fireplace so we had a fire going afternoon-evening, with the AC on.... 
Today, I'm keeping the doors closed, hoping to keep the cool inside and not 
have to run the AC.  Ah...

Lynn, heading out to buy wiper blades, stocking stuffers and the odd item or 
two... close to home.  Wishes for safe travel to those of you who are 
traveling, and a peaceful 'day before' for the rest of us.  Later on I'm 
baking a Cranberry/apple pie to take over to where my mom 'lives' as we 
celebrate together tomorrow, also pasta salad (her caregiver is declaring it 
an Italian Christmas food theme - last year was Mexican... this IS TX after 
all...)... and African Tulip soup for us tonight....  already I feel like 
there aren't enough hours in today : )

single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
