Today’s Thoughts
Cold
morning and is warming up nicely.
One
family tradition is to buy useful Christmas gifts. My brother and I always got
underwear and socks along with some fun gifts. When my brother got married, a
set of good sheets was always given. He likes 100% cotton with high (600+
thread count). I can’t find any this year that are less than $150. Guess I’ll
break the tradition.
Roslyn
Carter’s memorial was very nice.
The
continued release of the hostages in Gaza and the prisoners in Israel continues
with horrific stories of what they went through in both Gaza and Israel. A very
sad reminder that humans are not always empathetic or humane.
