Saint Nick

I meant to mention that Saint Nick came the night before last :-) It took the aunts forever to understand that! And that knowledge didn't stick with Mary any longer than about half a minute. (She always says her memory is as long as her pinky.) I wish I'd had a separate sock and candy for Angie, but I didn't know she was going to be here. I have some Merci chocolates for Mom and thought about giving them to her, but... naw. Angie's so funny. I showed her this beautiful red box with red voile and a red ribbon on top in which I have an almost complete robin's egg. I knew she'd appreciate it. She kept making comments which were making me uneasy and then, sure enough, she said, "Honey, I can't keep this. I'm not going to do that." Whew! I didn't mean for her to keep it! But, you know, you can tell Ange something like that and she's ok with it. On the other hand, sometimes the slightest thing insults her.

Gotta run, my batteries going.
