Happy Christmas to you all, my friends, followers, and fellow pedants. May your pauses be short, your lists be clear, and no one wonder whether you’re eating Grandma.

Perfectly stated, Lady Catherine de Bourgh.

May this year bring you what you didn't even know to ask for.

Way back in the day, names of cities and towns cancelling school for snow days were read, not scrolled along the bottom of the screen. An exercise in patience listening for my town. ❄️😬

Interesting. But as I read and was keeping with all the speeds, I was left thinking what’s the point. So many books I want to savor, to appreciate its sentences, its word choices.

My husband and son built the pig shed here for Alfie and our beloved Big Dave. We’d walk over after dinner with scraps. My son was married here. John Spencer was a maternal ancestor. So many memories.

I used to think this isn’t who we are as I watched news. But, apparently it is who we are. My state is bluer than blue and I watch those I elected speak out, advocate. But still, atrocities continue. My heart cries.

MEEP!💚

They must have had fun and lots of laughter practicing!

I had to meet with a subcommittee of our City Council for my reappointment to the Emma Commission. I love our City Hall, especially that lacy carving. When I first voted, it was placing my ballot into one of those wooden boxes. I passed, my name will go before entire council.
