Didn't make gingerbread this past holiday season until this afternoon.
Used a Betty Crocker mix and it turned out great.
Listened to some wintery music while it was in the oven.
For dessert it was simply heaven with whipped cream.

Laid back afternoon once home from the rally.
Had an apple as a nod to Old Twelfth Night.
Listened to Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker.
Simple dinner of burritos.
And we watched episodes of the old Lucy Show on Amazon Prime. What a blast from the past since I haven't seen it since I was a kid.

Attended an MLK Day rally in support of living wages and affordable health care for paraprofessionals in the district I work.
And everyone who spoke did very well. Lots of references were made to the voting rights issues going on lately.

Finished Mr. Jones by Edith Wharton recently. Quite well done and sufficiently spooky. The teaser on the back of the book reads: "When Lady Jane Lynke unexpectedly inherits Bells, a beautiful country estate, she declares she'll never leave the peaceful grounds and starts to make the house her home. But she hasn't reckoned on the obstinate Mr. Jones, who haas instructed the caretakers to deny all entry - yet is nowhere to be found."
Today I read, and finished, An Eddy On the Floor by Bernard Capes. This one was exceptional and got into my head. For this the teaser reads: "A man receives an unexpected appointment as doctor at the local prison. But when a terrified inmate begs to be moved, the young doctor begins to question his good fortune: The cell adjacent the frightened man has been boarded up for years - and no one will let the doctor inside."
I always enjoy Seth's illustrations.
