A recent conversation with Fiona...

Me:  So do you like Canada or Australia better?
Fiona: Australia!
Me: Why?
Fiona: The Santa here is much better.  He brings us big things like the swing-set.  The other Santa only brought us little things. 
Me giggling: Oh
Fiona with a suspicious eye: Is there only one Santa?

I do have to note that this conversation was had over a very special tea party.  Fiona worked all morning preparing a big surprise in honor of me.   She lugged their little table and chairs outside to the drive;Of course? she prepared it complete with a tablecloth and freshly picked flowers. Because Fiona is a proper host, each guest was given a gift. The spread of food truly was wonderful. Lots of fresh fruit and freshly squeezed apple juice. {yep we have a juicer!} There were great conversations between all of us.   In the finish Reed cleared our places.  What a gentleman he was, just like a little waiter working for tips.

  I'm so glad I've just recorded that memory

 because it's already starting to fade.
