Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

"And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow..."

     This says it better than I ever could:

     I hope you Austonites (Austonians?), and all of you in the South, are realizing how lucky you are right now.  It is 7 degrees at 12 noon.  Poor little Rin isn't getting much "squirrel stalking," or even walking, in because I'm afraid it will frostbite the pads of her feet. 

     We attended a wonderful Christmas concert put on by the Colorado Chorale yesterday.  We were home before the snowstorm hit.  The old familiar carols and some new ones, too, did their job by starting to nudge us towards some Christmas spirit. We need it as we get grinchier every year. Great job, Kate, our daughter who is a Chorale member.
