Rehearsing for my annual narration of the Harvard MA Christmas pageant next week AND our performance of Bach Magnificat tomorrow.

We have a new well pump and our water is back on. Being able to wash my hands again feels good.

And we’re off to deliver RC back to UVM. It’s been nice to have him home for a week.

Christmas tree is up. Only a small one this year: 12.5 feet, but it felt as heavy as our 14 footer in 2008. It’s nice to have strong sons.
