Dallas had a record high of eighty-five yesterday.  Giada and I had a great time at the park and with the sand table in the back yard so she couldn’t understand why we weren’t outside today.  It is so funny to see her next to the sand table.  She is just the right size for it.  Evie and Jane will look like giants next to it.  We will have to look for a larger one on sale.

It is so true that children make everything worthwhile.  Double that for grandchildren.  And of course there is the promise of a new year. Merry Christmas and God bless us everyone.
