I was right about the snow. It’s almost completely gone. It’s a beautiful, sunny but cold day. I’m getting ready to go to my friend’s house. I made shortbread to take with me. I know it’s silly, but I’m feeling a twinge of guilt at leaving Gertrude alone on Christmas. She doesn’t know it’s Christmas, so what’s that about? I need to get out more. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Merry Christmas!
