    My body hurts all over. The J&J is hitting me harder than expected. Today is a good day for low key activities. Fortunately, a 75th birthday celebration on Zoom and dinner party was just the level of activity I was up for. Easter egg making was perfect for the evening. I colored a dozen in…

  • Christmas Festivities Ramp Up

    After squeezing in the first batch of Spritz Christmas cookies before work Monday while a flurry of rental messages flew downstairs, today we completed the first trio in a second early morning bake-athon.
