thirty minutes until tuesday

 This girl was here today. She happily hung out in this bouncing contraption for about half an hour while I folded clothes and warmed up lunch for her sister.  I'd call this thing a success.

 And tonight after 8 pm when I finished working, I moved on to other work and wrapped presents for a couple hours, easy going and very fun.

 That's the dining room table a magnet for every kind of crap that collects. But this is not tonight's problem, no. We'll deal with this later, much later.

 Aww, my baby puppy:

As soon as I said the words, she crumpled to the floor for a belly rub.

Cruising into Christmas, speeding fast.  So much love, Val
