My daughter bought me earrings with giant rhinestones that hurt my ears, but I love wearing them anyhow. My son bought me a picture frame. I will put a picture of him in in shortly. My husband got a pen and a clock shaped like a movie camera. They are good kids, they take joy in giving, I love that about them.

My parents showed up with their spouses and bought my Jane most of what Abercrombie sells and Alexander enough legos to keep him happy for quite a while. There were latkes and everyone loves my kids.

It’s all sort of perfect.

Oh, except for the dead frog in my living room. More on that later.
