The week has been busy as we prepare for the holidays. Thursday the Friends of the Library has a holiday Meet and Greet for all the members and the public and we have a ton of stuff to schlep to the library. Niko’s birthday party is Saturday so there are gifts to wrap, birthday and Christmas. There are also things that need assembly. Saturday evening is the hastily planned Family Christmas at a Chinese Restuarant in the L.A. area. My siblings will all be there and some contingent of their kids, plus a few old folks. Sunday includes time spent with Nick and Alma, then home.
