Thanks for the background @Aleah

@Aleah Why, thank you.

Oh Wow! Thank you Aleah for the background, tabby and hand lanterns! (((Hugs!)))

How are you doing Aleah? I never heard the ending of your Covid ordeal and I have been praying for you and yours. Are you doing ok now? Sorry to be so long in asking...
Things are finally calming down here but it's been a week or two of a rough ride.

Oh I am sorry about Mary. I do hope she will be able to fight it off soon. Christmas Cookies sound great though. I am happy to hear you are doing better though.
It snowed here finally, and quit raining, but we aren't out of the water yet, so to speak. It is looking up a little though.

Happy New Year, @Aleah 🥳
New Year's Eve is actually my hubby's birthday, so we spent the day just hanging out, doing things with him, and eating ice cream cake. How have your holidays been?

Happy Post-Easter! Did you find all your eggs?

Too old?! One cannot be too old for games. I mean, look at us, we play dress-up online!
The only thing that really changed is that looking for eggs nowadays happens mostly online.
Dang, a missed opportunity for a Faenaria event

I should go home but I see dark grey clouds in the distance and I see the curtains of rain hanging down from them, and they're headed my way ... Maybe I won't walk but take the car instead ... (so much for good intentions)
((My car has a better parking spot in the office's underground parking than near my home, and it's only 20 minutes by foot, but I despise rain in cold weather))

Honestly, would you walk in this situation?
