Tonight, I made a stew with halibut and clams that we caught in our bay. I followed a recipe from a local homesteader/restaurateur’s cookbook. I cooked with a white wine from the winery down the street. I don’t think a day goes by without me saying, I love where we live. Chris usually replies with, Say it again.

It’s been a pretty fantastic 24 hours. Merry Christmas!
Today my husband started counseling for the first time ever and loved it, but didn’t want to talk about it. Tonight I made tissue paper lanterns for our solstice party with friends, where we will look at each other in the cold dark and whisper we have turned another year. I am proud of both.

I surprise myself every time I reference my baby and someone asks about her age. Good gracious, she’ll be ten on her next birthday. And then we attend events like our church staff Christmas party tonight and hold actual babies and remember how intense those years were and how quickly they’ve passed. I miss those days and I love the ones I’m in now.
My mom comes tomorrow! My comes tomorrow! My mom comes tomorrow! She’ll stay for a week and watch three Nutcracker shows and watch three girls while Chris and I take Ames away for an adventure. My mom comes tomorrow!
I was nearly thirty-seven years old before an artificial Christmas tree darkened my doorstep and lit up my living room. We decorated her tonight. She’s doing the job we need her to do this year and for that, we are grateful.
