Merry Christmas to one and all and all and one!
My visit in South Carolina is going very well. We've shopped and seen sights and gone hither, thither and yon...we've visited, we've laughed, we've been hysterical, and we have been quiet and introspective.
Yes, I think we've done everything but cry. There will be no crying, though. I hope.
I've eaten very well...and mostly nutritionally...but despite my protests, there have been way too many sweets, too many pies, too many cakes, too many candies. And what do you think? There is black walnut fudge cooling in the kitchen; there are sweet potato pies in the baking! S-i-g-h!
The pond, which is about 20 feet outside the back door, is mostly calm with only a slight ripple on the surface (it's a flowing body of water, rather than a still one). The sky is overcast. We had rain last night, but the 50ish weather is supposed to turn cold tonight, and I can hardly wait as I love the briskness of cold weather.
I hope BK's party is fun and festive and becomes the talk of the town. I hope all of your festivities are fun and festive and the talks of your respective towns.
I do hope no one does anything unseemly that makes him or her the "talk of the town", though. I visit here once a year and I already know where many of the skeletons rest in which closets and it's not a pretty sight, not by a long shot. Yes, it's a small town and it's a "Peyton Place" where everyone knows everyone else's business. Even those who "keep to themselves" are suspicious and subject to discussion on a recurring basis. I feel eyes and telescopes and binoculars focused on me at all times. When it gets intense, I sing and dance and do a little commercial for myself. That shows 'em that I don't care one whit!
Right.
I'll rejoin all y'all on a more regular basis just before the start of the new year.
Happy "Happy", everyone!
