I feel guilty having fun when Charles, Karen, and John are enduring such pain without Charlini, but they are constantly on my mind and in my heart.

Kay and I had lunch today at Federal Grill, then went downtown to see A Christmas Story, the Musical. It was entertaining, but didn't top the movie in my mind. That is my favorite Christmas movie of all time and the only one I absolutely have to see every year.

 I got home just in time to change and head to the Christmas pajama party at the clubhouse. All of my decorations came straight off my tree. And now I'll never figure out where to put them back. But we drank some wine (and maybe a little pecan flavored bourbon) and laughed a lot. Now hoping for a little cooler weather tomorrow after torrential rains this afternoon.
