So around these parts it’s traditional to put up your christmas decorations on the 10th. And it seems that this year my family has succeeded. We now have a snazzy tree with not-so-snazzy ornaments, plus a wreath and a nice selection of tinsel. Personally, I could lose all of that and just keep the pretty lights we’ve hung on the tree. I’d have them all year around in my room if I had my own set.

The new dog, Tigger, is settling in well, Misty enjoys playing with him and they both now sleep in their baskets (as opposed to Misty sleeping on our beds). We couldn’t decide on a name for most of his first day, and so his nametag reads ‘Tiger’, but we can just bluff over that mishap as a matter of pronunciation.

This month is going to be, and has already been, hectic for me because of my birthday and family and friends-of-family flying out. Not to mention the actual wintereenmas christmas and new year’s. Speaking of family, my dad arrived in Africa yesterday and I seen him for the first time today. He hasn’t been here in over 9 years (one week in 1998 and a vacation in 1997), but from the early 80’s until 1992 he lived here. From what I can see, he really misses the place. He said that stepping off the plane felt like coming home.
