We built a gingerbread house from a kit given to us by Tanya's mom. I've never done that before, it was fun! The artist at work...such concentration....
The weather is mild but pretty cool at nights- it's 62 F when we get up. But we have heat, so we take the chill of and open blinds and drapes and let the sun warm the house. During the day it's really nice.
Thinking of Alicia- How are you, sweetie?? And how about you, Larry?
Christmas in Mexico is pretty noisy, but it seemed louder last year, I think we've just tuned a lot of it out. Lots of fireworks and especially firecrackers. Last year on Christmas Eve Shadow was trembling, but this year when there was a particularly loud one he'd just lift his head and look at us. As long as we weren't worried, he wasn't either.
We went out for dinner Christmas Eve to a certain restaurant. It was OK, but not great. My food was cold, it took forever to get a waitress and the bill was messed up, but still fun was had by all. All in all I'd rather go to the Parrot on half price day.
People in the market are buying these little fruits up like crazy! Bags of them!
What are they? I don't know! But they have no taste, so it must be for a recipe of some kind.
At Dan's place, some guys came by asking for work and when there was none, they backed up quickly- right into my door! And then took off. We were all down at the beach, this was reported by Dan's workers. Oh well, what are you gonna do? Right?
New Year's Eve is going to be quiet, I don't see us going out anywhere. What's everyone else doing?

Have you found out what to do with that fruit yet?
Yep, tasted it and threw it out!.
Quiet plans, my celebrations in the past always seem to end up like this one.

Ha! Loved it, Dave, thanks. "Christmas Socks".
Oh what a beautiful Gingerbread house. Love it.
I am healing at a miraculous rate...no really, my arm looks great and is getting stronger by the day. This might have been aided a little bit by the fact that we just returned from 10 days in Maui yesterday. It was spectacularly beautiful and WARM. I loved wearing flipflops the whole time. But, all good things must end and now I'm home staring glumly at the snow, jet lagged, and depressed about going back to work tomorrow.
Great to hear, Alicia! I'm thinking a ten day vacation somewhere warm is just the thing for a healing process!
