Week one of the semester is done! I only have 12 credits this term, but they are 12 solid credits.
More soon. For now, it is the advent that never ends. Waiting.
Today I am thankful for comfort food, friends far away, learning new words and cups of tea.
Punch number four tomorrow!!

No pictures for the moment – my computer was infected last week and, after a fun stint as IT girl for my own house, I haven’t found the photo software yet. But, let me assure you the punch was beautiful and I will add pictures when I can.
