New Year Numbness

I'm up in Anacortes again, seeing in the new year with my mom. We're going to dine on leftover chicken enchiladas, New Zealand wine, and finish off with several chocolate truffles, each. then we'll watch Miss Potter or Jane Austen's Emma or maybe both.

We're hoping to get Dad home next week, but it's a bittersweet victory. He's made progress since my last Anacortes post, but the reality is that he's facing the sunset and there's clouds obscuring it.

We lost Goddy's dad on a New Year's eve several years ago, so you see, it's not our favorite night of the year.

The bright spot was spending a few days earlier this week in the company of our sons (and their sweet wives) and grandson. Always the best compensation for the doldrums.
