Ring out the old, ring in the new....
I have returned from Arizona. I survived the flight home. No, I didn't get bumped anywhere, but I was four hours late overall, which meant I got home at 4 am. My cat sitter, an extremely kind person, came to get me.
After this experience, I can report this:
It was pleasant and sunny when I was in Tucson.
In Denver it was 9 degrees F and the snow was blowing like a speech by President John Adams. My coat was packed, and I am SO going to find the money for a lighter laptop, later this winter. The extending walkways were COLD.
My sister and her family were not eaten by a tumbleweed as large as the minivan they rented for the drive home -- but it was close.
My father has been pumped full of meds, and his cough is finally improving -- we were afraid it was pneumonia, but it was only an infection. Still, at 79 and not excellent health, there is no "only" coupled with infection.
I love my family, but it is good to be home! Now, I just have four more scarves to crochet....
Oh, and PS -- if you want to read Fires of Nuala on-line free, look fast. Book View Cafe's front page gets revamped in January, and serialization is going away. Samples will remain. People seem to like to read a sample and then buy, as opposed to reading weekly on-line. That's okay -- but change is coming!
