Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas.<br /><br />I finished reading my autographed copy of The Babylonian Codex today that I ordered from the Garden District Book Shop. A great read!

Hope you and your boys enjoy the holidays. <br /><br />Sabena, that is funny.Thank you! The bottom shelf is a terrible place for books! And they do say that hand selling works!<br /><br />Steve, thank you. You should see the village under the tree!

Her plane was delayed so we were shopping in the various airport gift shops. In two of the stores I noticed Babylonian Codex on the very bottom row. I had already bought my copy (the day it came out), but didn't like the placement on the shelf. I moved them to the mid/top - right at eye level while no one was watching. Further, I witnessed one being picked up and perused. I noted to the person that it was a fabulous book and am happy to note, he bought it. Happy Holidays!!!!

Doesn't mean you don't miss her, but the empty space where she would be is filled with love and light, and that is a lovely legacy. It also helps to have your own girls home. When my boys are away I like having a neat house where everything is where I put it and the leftovers in the frig that are meant for the next day's dinner are, in fact, still there the next day. But when they come home and fill the house with laughter and noise and energy and friends, a little dirt and chaos is a small price to pay. I'm able to repress how much I miss them until they return, then it all comes back in a rush. OTOH, they have turned into lovely, independent adults, and I wouldn't have it any other way.<br /><br />Your mother is still there in you and your girls (and her Spanish creche).
