Day 27

Hey Ma;

We put away the holiday season decorations today.  We only broke one this year. I think it's a law somewhere that one ornament must be sacrificed to the house..... whatevers every winter holiday season.

We don't know what to do with the cards we received this year. They mean so much and have helped us through.  We received a sympathy letter from your cancer doctor today, that was very nice. I've heard some doctors don't do that.

I'm still a little wigged about last night. I think Jackie has found it comforting. We were together and keyed into being aware of feelings and stuff moments before getting the phone call about her birth mother. You're still trying to take care of us, eh?  Thanks, Mom.

Love you, Mama

This works well with just breasts or thighs or whatever combo you'd like.  The sauce is fantastic on eggs the next morning too.

We're making drafty door blockers and the insulation is too small since we ripped out the carpets. So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
