People who light up the holiday
December 25, 2008
You might think that the parents of grown children would get to sleep in on a Christmas morning. Ha. Miss Sadie, the Cowboy and Miss Puss roused me out of a sound sleep with the news that all of them wished to go outside. Now. Pull on coat over pjs. Jam hat on head. Put boots […]
