Crazy Busy past 24 Hours

In the last 24 + hours we have:
  • Dropped Bee at the airport with her aunt, uncle and 2 cousins to go on their trip to Egypt and Greece
  • Played 4 or 5 games of Settlers with Tom Dau Sarah Meg Crick Rod Mike Peg
  • Made a meal for more Settlers with 4 friends
  • Saw Aurelia's Oratorios at ART in Cambridge (very interesting BTW)
  • Walked into town twice to the yarn store and Peets, once for Judy and once for Peg
  • Etc, etc, etc

This is a busy time of year, but extending Christmas this way does keep it alive beyond the 25th

What we have NOT done is:

  • Head to the mall for "those deals"
  • Eaten too much food
  • Have regrets about the holidays
  • Travelled (although the Vermont contingent did bring their young adults down to leave from Logan)

As an aside, George and Judy are taking their nieces and nephews on a trip during their college years as a way to show them countries and cultures outside the US. Bethany is going with Frances and Grady. It is a really great group and their aunt and uncle are incredible to give them this experience.

Some day I want to repeat their trip down the Nile . . .
