Playing Santa —
My poor mama has been sick for two weeks with RSV, and even missed her baby brother’s funeral Tuesday. She canceled our Christmas get-together, but I surprised her and my stepdad today by dropping off meals and goodies.
Take that, RSV!

For some reason, my husband’s nickname for our corgi Hope is bumblebee, so this afternoon I sent Hope upstairs to his office after yelling up to him, “We have a bumblebee in the house — headed your way!” (He’s allergic to bees!)
And then I waited….
Never heard him laugh so hard!
