Love your apron BOLINAS very much Beatrice. Your home looks lovely. Funny we both now live on the other side of the world from Bolinas but the place is always with us! Happy Holidays to you all, Deva

Oh! How your essay has brightened my day! Across the pond, millions of us are struggling with the realization of what is to come in the next 4 (or more) years. It's extremely difficult to get into a festive mood. So looking at your cookies and the lights in Koln and hearing about happy things going on in your family feels truly comforting. Normalcy still exists somewhere in this world.

Thank you @kdsherpa for your kind words. I am trying to bring some normalcy into the world and am glad that my words and pictures brightened your day. As I mentioned earlier, I am trying to focus my energies on my "circles of control and influence" while not ignoring the circle of concern. I am very worried about the next years will bring not only to my home-country but also to the world. I worry for my family in California and New Hampshire and hope for the best. https://bsky.app/profile/murchstudio.com/post/3lbqylpkd3c2l
