Glory be! The clouds disappeared and the sun came through – just in time for Alisa’s plane to land! Hurrah! She’s here!

Our house is suitably decorated. Gifts under the tree. Essentially everything is done – and that means that this afternoon, we took a walk on the Carpenter Creek trail. The dogs and I were ecstatic – they were as stir-crazy as I was.

So that was really cool.

Lots of activities planned for the next few days. Tomorrow – snowshoeing at Nicky’s place. Maybe (probably) even more snowshoeing in the afternoon.

Days off now until I start writing again.
