“Do you know that we are thinking of your house for Christmas?” wrote my mother in her latest e-mail.

NO, I didn’t know! Stay in better touch, will you please, dear family? You read my blog, so you feel you are in touch, but you forget, it doesn’t feel that way to me.

“Can you be ready in two weeks?”

Well, it’s three weeks and YES, we can be ready. Demetrios says he very much hopes everyone will come and spend the night. Counting sofas, we can sleep 9 before having to resort to sleeping bags for kids and/or rented rollaway beds.

NOW, for the first time, I feel enthusiastic about coming back to the States! Three weeks from yesterday, I think it is, we leave. Then just over three more weeks until Christmas – can it be???
