HAPPYMERRYSCARYCHRISTMAS!!!

it rained all day a very heavy rain

had a wonderful christmas veggie lasagna dinner with two kinds of pies, pumpkin and blackberry

santa dropped by last night leaving gifts for nick [yes, he believes in santa]

my father told me -- saddened, horrified, and disgusted with the massacre at sandy hook -- that he will spend the rest of his life working towards sanity in our country and abolish the presence of weapons of death

spent an afternoon talking movies and zombies with my brother and his oldest son
