Sending positive thoughts and well wishes to all struggling, and with family members who are sick. It's horrible that covid is wreaking more havoc again. I'll now be doubly careful during my upcoming travels. If my brother were to get sick with covid, on top of his current struggles, I'd be horrified.

After several extremely busy days, we've finally had a chance to rest, but this coming week will be busy, too. Hubby thinks I should make at least a couple types of Christmas cookies to bring to the US. If so, it must be in the next few days and ones that travel well. I'll likely also bake (and cook) a bit at my dad's house for my brother.
