The Eddie Show ๐๐ท๐งโค๏ธ๐ My "Mama" on Christmas Eve, 1990.
Mom's mom was 81 here and lived 11 more years. โค๏ธ
๐ Santa shipped by FedEx this year, there was problem delivering up the mountain where I live, and the package was misdelivered and "lost."
Ten days of conversations, texts and emails (Santa prefers), followed. A couple days ago, BETH called: "I have the package in my hands!" Drove into a razor-fenced-in compound in Bryson City today to pick it up.
Beth brought the box to the car and we chatted/commiserated for a minute. By this time, we both knew what was inside. "Hope you enjoy! Merry Christmas!" โค๏ธ

๐ท A year ago tonight, a friend in the 1960s subdivision where we lived won "Best Christmas Decorations" as she had for several years running. I was there, chatting with her when the HOA came to present a small plaque and "Best Christmas Decorations" stake for her yard.
MAY-ree (Mary) and I met a few months earlier. Learned she'd lived in the house all her life and that she knew my parents, friends of her own.
That kind of weirdness was inexplicably common in the years I spent in the subdivision.
๐ท December 23rd last year was bitterly cold, and I stopped by the Cantina that evening for tacos. That Salsa Verde warmed me right up, as I recall! ๐
๐ท "The Incident at Kituwah (แฉแแฉ)" โ Update
Drove by the spot yesterday where, on December 5th, I ended up with my legs twisted and stuck on under the Fiat and my head was *this close to the busy road. On the grass, bottom right. I've avoided going back and have taken an alt route to Bryson City since.
My fractured left fibula is still healing, but is much improved, with only minor pain after 10 days in an orthopedic boot. โค๏ธ
๐ท Miss shooting in the supermarket flower shop every day and seeing Susan, the florist and a dear friend. We texted this morning. โค๏ธ

๐ท #CharleneTheCat is asleep on her quilt, on the floor in front of the wall heater, as squirrels play in the tree, just feet from her favorite window. โค๏ธ
