It's been quiet here since I began the Christmas prep.  Since the hospitalization in the fall I am keenly aware of how catastrophe can strike when you least expect it.  I don't want the children's holidays derailed so am trying to get everything in place… just in case. 

Not much by way of pictures ready to share but in the general odds and ends doing around here I finally got those little Alsacian prints framed and hung in the schoolroom.  Very pleased.
