It is January 16th and I have spent this cold, cold day entirely inside.  Schools are closed and the streets are quiet.

My CREST is exacerbated by cold air, so my sweetest neighbors, Jan and Kate, brought me both brunch and dinner--delicious!

There's a beautiful movie on Amazon: MAUDIE.  It's based on a true story of a woman in Nova Scotia who painted even though she had severe and crippling arthritis.

A series on Netflix, I'm enjoying tonight is RITA--a Danish movie about a teacher named Rita.
