Another Visit

This household’s Christmas tree lights were lit last night.

We’d kept the tree, decorations and all up well past Epiphany to be ready for a visit that started last night.

Number two daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter arrived yesterday. We had a good visit, opened (slightly belated) Christmas presents, and stayed up later than is our habit. Or should that be are our habits?

The two adults set off to another destination this morning, so we’ll have an extended visit with granddaughter. I’ve read a few age-appropriate books with her, #3 daughter and wife have played with her. And at the moment I’m enjoying hearing her play: two rooms over.

On the ‘up’ side, we’re having a fine visit. On the ‘not-so-up’ (notsoup???) side, I don’t expect to be getting much writing done. But I do expect to enjoy the next few days.
