    I just can’t find the word to express what I am feeling, a mixture of sadness and happiness at the same time. Crying comes easily. And the cold winter day goes on.  Maybe the word is poignant.

     My daughter’s grammar school friend brings me a delicious home made stew and an electric hand warmer. I have known her forever and now she is a charming kind talented woman married to a great cook.

     Watch two episodes of YOUNGER on Netflix, a light hearted good enough series. A good alternative to watching the scary fire news from Los Angeles. A new book now, NORTH WOODS by Daniel Mason. And I am still slowly reading Zoe Schlanger’s fabulous book,THE LIGHT EATERS.

     Took money from my savings to pay this year’s expensive house insurance.  Fire is always a treat where I live.
