Orion, Justin and Grampa Dave
Trish and I both woke up in the middle of the night, excited by the prospect of playing Santa and jazzed by the Mars Retrograde Full Moon Energy. Bibi Betsy was still awake on IM. She was finishing Oma’s scarf. She’ll get a brown “Knitting is Notty” T-shirt. BuyOlympia doesn’t stock the brown anymore. I got hers at Orca’s.
At 8 this morning, Grampa Dave and Grama Julie rang the doorbell and woke me. Orion stayed asleep until we decided to start watching The Tiger in The Snow with Roberto Benigni.
A half hour into it I caught a glimpse of Orion hustling to the bathroom with his pants half down.
Shortly thereafter the present extravagobonanza began.
Now it’s snowing and Oma Barbara, Uncle Nick and Bibi Betsy will arrive in time for dinner. We’ve got a turkey. They’re bringing a stuffed salmon.
