JOY

My friend Katy took this photo in Limestone, TN, on Christmas Eve. "I returned on the day after Christmas to take another photo, but JOY had already been taken down. Maybe JOY is camera shy."

This involved recipe for tomato sauce did not really turn out very well. Should have used Rao's.

 

Reading With Aggles

 

My sister Aggles and I are 3,000 miles apart, just how we would have liked it as kids. But despite the distance, we're reading together. The book is Christmas Days: 12 Stories and 12 Feasts for 12 Days. We started twelve days before Christmas, and we read one story every night. 

In last night's story, the dog just started talking! I'm not sure how Winterson made that work, but it did, and I'm going to read it over again and see if I can fathom it.

One Christmas Aggles chose Moominland Midwinter to read together, and then we couldn't stop and ended up reading all of the Moomin books. She just reminded me that another year we read Entertaining Is Fun! by Dorothy Draper (her choice for my benefit). This year's book was my choice; next year it's up to her.
