All is well: I just spoke 10 minutes with my mother who went shopping and decided she did not need anything this year for Noel. I received an email from my second family sort of, certainly my inlaws! It is summer down under: tank tops and shorts. We have 30 cm of snow on our little hill today from yesterday. The day is so relaxed. Should I worry hubby sleeps so much during the day? He used to say it made him feel worst when he woke up after an hour or more nap. I guess it is not the case anymore. 

I have a bit of packaging and mailing for Noel to do. To my inlaws. One in Australia, one in NZ. Tiny tokens from us both gotten yesterday at the artisan shop and art gallery next town over from us.
