Wintertime sets in . . .

Brrr. It's cold this week, in the 20s at night with low-40s daytime highs. Watching the Green Bay vs. Giants playoff game reminds me that we are fortunate here in Texas, but we'll pay for it in the summer. I just had to write and say the Christmas tree is finally down. Yes, it's taken this long. We're expanding an experiment from years past (of not dissembling it) and this year left the ornaments on. We wrapped it in a flannel sheet and stuffed it into a closet. Not easy. Next year we'll know if it worked and if we miss the tree-trimming part of Christmas tradition. That's about it for now.
