For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 06, 2014

That sounds too overwhelming to me…I’d rather go to others houses than have to slave over mine. All I have to do is make a yummy cake or two, and off I go…! ;)

Sounds like a tremendous amount of work. Do you have a lot of ‘family helpers’?

Sounds very expensive!

My mother-in-law is hosting Paul’s birthday party today; tomorrow she is having an open house. On the 21st she is hosting a family secret Santa, and then Christmas and New Year.

That involves a higher order of mathematics, Ellie. None of us have quite mastered it yet.

I’d never stay at anyone’s house. I’d book some place else, even if the expense meant staying fewer days. But that’s just me. Separate places make for better friends and relatives. I have seen that truth a time or two.

MayKitten: I have felt that the ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny applies to behavior after birth. The first attempts at movement as fish-like, then a splayed-limb crawl like reptiles, then quadruped crawling with the limbs under the body, then toddling bipedal attempts, and then arboreal climbing into everything.

@howtheduckAccording to Connie’s official bio at the FBOFW website, Connie’s father is deceased and her mother resides elsewhere.

I’m out of breath just after reading your December and early January schedule!.Happy Holidays to you and everyone else!
