Monday, December 10th, and7... Yesterdé, over breakfast at Our nearest favourite diner [Maisy had eggs over easy and i had eggs over Good], we discusst a Visit the Matriarch made to a crowded steakhaus that she [Hane] called a fire hazard..."just like the blank in NYC..."  My dear sister tried to fill in the blank with COTTON CLUB, then COPACABANA, but i fired off my last synapse of the actual name, momentarily... i said,"it was the COCOANUT GROVE, and if Hane had gone there that night~none of us would be here to Remembre it." {my Fambly is recklessly adept at avoiding Spectacular disastres!} Table=talk. Âvèc ouèves. 

[my French accents are rusty^] In any case, the CONNECTICUTIANS [?] were far too kind to visit me and mine on their way to a concurrent event in the Walley.  And, i might could get some drapery out of it.{"it's Curtains for you, unkabooey!"}Weathre permitting...shine=lovin'slac

Saturday, December Eighth, New Epoch7..."I'll meet you anytime you want, in our Italian restaurant..." --billy joel, '75 MAISY treated five (5) of us to dinner last night in just such a venue. And BABALOO tippt the expecial good guitar=singer as we left. Then, we told crasy fambly schtories to each othre far into the night at my digs.  {is 10:30 post meridian far into the Night?}  Aday~my wonderful sister aided me on a long behind recycle run and chauffered me well past all of the old Schtomping grounds and hovels. WE do such things out of muscle memory, not over=wrought Sentimentality.  We had the casual late=lunch at anothre of our fine Walley fambly=owned cafés...  BABALOO took us to the Car=Warsh!  Such a good one to have around when he's only in the Walley for a campers' reunion...  He is patient with our conjoined insanity.  Amorro is casual/schleepy Sun=day ~slac

Monday, December Third, and-Seven...i don't know if my dear departed Jewish second mother will forgif me, but i am putting up a ham=hock soop for Hannukah.  {more importanly, will yhwh forgif me?}  Less=the=never, i will celebrate the Days and Nights of Light in the company of my tribe.  Which pretty much includes evybody^

As the werk at the Parish Yard concluded & the bishop of Smyrna rode coldly on his bucket=truck, my good friend PETER came to celebrate And fetcht me home=wise. He didn't bring his wife nor his dog, but i have met almost Pete's entire fambly. It is a mere Holyday Blessing to share friendship with the people you serve on a customary basis.

Now~the wind has come to blow off the remaindre of the leaves & i saw a hawk percht high upon a utility pole...it's gonna be a Brisk wintre in the Walley, but nay so much a Schnowy one. {it's what i believe of the portents i've seen}Brightness! on your Season! but do not light candles unnecessarily.  OR othre dangerous fires for that matter^
