Bright Lights Dim And the Night Closes In

I'm too tired to gab. Time is short and there's no time to nap. Maybe. No. Yes. I'm baking sweet potatoes. The cranberries and dried fruit have already boiled and jelled. Later, I'll steam snap peas - very briefly. Dad and his amusing entourage have arrived in New Jersey to roast meats. It's Christmas - again. The second pan of manicotti I made a week ago is at Auntie InExcelsisDeo's house. I hope someone took it out of the freezer or those are going to be some mighty interesting popsicles. With sauce.

If you're alone or if you're not, if you're prosperous or if you're not, if you're happy or if you're not, I wish you a healthy, happy, prosperous and loving New Year. Take good care of yourself. To better days, friends!
