You bet, stay cheerful. The holidays can be heavy and I love the energy you are passing on! Regarding the comment on the long fork. Dad had one too, and I think it was because he did so much chicken on the big stone BBQ pit, he used it to turn meat and save himself from flare-ups. He gave Mom a break and took over dinner almost every Saturday night. Happy holidays...wink, wink.
Thanks, Susan! I appreciate you chiming in. Makes sense about the fork, and barbecuing on a Saturday night sounds fun. My mother did all the cooking in our house, and if I could figure out how to make her Swedish meatballs or tuna casserole, I would. :) Happy holidays to you.
I found a phrase last year that cheered me for at least a month….i want to be holly jolly, not stress-y depress-y! It’s become a helpful mantra. So glad to have found you and your writing again! I’ve missed you, my friend! 💙
Love that! The December holidays for me are bookended by two trips - leaving for D.C. tomorrow (will write about it when I get back), and India in January, so the holidays feel especially compressed this year. Not a bad thing. Let's definitely go for holly jolly! I've missed you too. <3
