…everything was stirring, even the mouse (or elf, as they used to call me).

I’m guessing that the festivities will start around 7pm tonight with the non-church goers showing up earlier. Assuming that to at least be Karen, maybe Emily as well if the Canyon Road farolito tour is early rather than later. “Nothing good happens a 6pm!” she rants like the 16-year-0ld, just got her drivers license, teenager that she is.

The champagne is chilling for Red Barons, no oysters this year because “they looked a month old” to my mother, but I’m sure that we won’t starve. Not likely to happen this time of the year.

So — where in the world is Uncle Markie?

Obviously this photo wasn’t taken today, or there would be snow on the ground. But I can see my sis-in-law/bro-in-law’s white Subaru parked in the driveway. That Subaru used to belong to my father, so I’m guessing the picture is no more than a couple of years old at the max.

Time to hit the showers and get ready for the festivites — someone said something about a party starting at 3pm — sounds like cocktails to me.
