BVC Announcement
I hope everyone is sailing peacefully toward the New Year. We did very little of the customary stuff for Christmas this year, which was restful. Rest has been sorely needed.
Christmas Eve visited one set as a duty, and my son's bio family as a joy, at which music was made, and my son's g.f. arrived to find that no, she was not the only Asian face there by a long shot: two Japanese first gen: one married to a Caucasian, the other to the second Vietnamese, with their various offspring.
(It hit me that what with the other side of the family--seen two weeks ago--having first gen Spanish speaking, including elders who have no English, we've got a whole lot of California history right here in the family.)
Great food and great jokes as well as music made it a delightful evening. Christmas day was just the four of us, and as I'd made a vast vat of vegetable soup from turkey bone stock and froze it against such an occasion, we had good food.
So now back to regular life, which includes An Announcement" Book View Cafe's 25% sale. Most of the books are already cheap as ebooks go these days, with another quarter off this week.
