So, it’s almost the new year.  The roofer is coming to fix the roof within the next week.  We have more boxes down from the storage unit.  The girls and I made samosas and had a wonderful time – a big granite counter with access from both sides makes for great communal cooking experiences.  I painted the hallway into the family room, so we can assemble the shelves and put away more stuff tomorrow, and we made individual homemade pizzas for dinner.

While we were having dinner, I got a call from Laura – she was in the neighborhood with her kids, so she stopped by for an hour and everyone had a lovely time.  Now it’s quiet – I think it may be time for the hot tub!
