Bella, standing on the stool next to me in the kitchen as I mix the cookie dough is talking to the statue of Mary that stands on the windowsill above the sink:
“Holy Mary, we have a statue of you praying and another statue of you with your hands stretched out and another one of you with St Joseph and holding the baby Jesus. My mommy and Sophie’s mommy is making cookies for you.”
Stay warm!
I just went out to take out the trash and help Dom clear off the cars and to escape the three screaming children. The cold and the falling snow and the hush was so wonderfully refreshing. Of course I was able to come back in to warmth and hot cocoa.
