Catch up, Christmas & New Year's!
Our visits to Long Island are always relaxing and pleasant, and that has everything to do with Dude, Mom O., and Sarah making space in their routine and home for eight extra people, and feeding and entertaining us, to boot. I'm sure it's not easy, and they probably collapse once we leave, but while we're there, they give nothing but love and graciousness. That says a lot about them, and I don't take their hospitality for granted.
Dude had the woodstove blazing when we arrived, and I was warm for our entire visit. Imagine that! Every time I walked up or down the basement stairs, I would sneak a few minutes sitting next to the fire. It might sound silly to people with warm wintertime houses, but sitting in the dark warming my hands was one of my favorite parts of the week.
