It’s Presidents Day. I am at home with a head cold and a barfing child, trying my best to get some work done from home. It’s actually not going too badly, all things considered.
I am also cleaning off my desk. There was this giant pile on top of my printer that was threatening to topple for the last couple of months, and I decided to explore what was actually in that pile that was important enough to keep, but that was not necessary enough to remember it was there.
I came across some stacks of photos from the last couple of years. (I am embarrassingly behind on the family photo albums.) In the middle of that stack were photos from Thanksgiving 2008. (I told you I was behind.) And in that set of photos were these fabulous photos of my mother trying to work on a crossword puzzle – a hobby she inherited from her father.
I gather that she would have gotten more done without the “help”, but she was good sport. I love my family.
