Define: Adult Christmas

I went to my writer friend Maureen's yesterday. She and her new husband, George, live about as far up the mountain as you can get without being on protected property. And the view they have of Tucson — Wow!

We sat across from each other at the kitchen bar for over four hours, back-to-back laptops, while I taught Word tips and tricks to Maureen, a veteran WordPerfect user. When she was on a roll, I'd work on my bead crochet for a while. We'd stop long enough to baste the turkey. Then around 5:00 we stopped and had a lovely dinner.

It was such a nice, peaceful day. I guess this is how empty-nesters spend their holidays. I think it suits me. My mind was so occupied with helping Maureen that I didn't linger on missing the babies.

I hope your day was peaceful also.
