Not a good start to the week

Thankfully, we got our internet and cable back yesterday afternoon and no longer have to go to internet cafes to check email. Tiny victories.

Unfortunately, we had some of the worst news on Monday, which is that B's grandfather passed away. He was a wonderful man and certainly the patriarch of the family. He was known for his fantastic sense of humor and sometimes for telling some slightly off-color jokes to the crowd.

Sadly, tried as we did, and we did, we were not able to change our tickets and return in time for the funeral due to some awful airline rules. We were pretty dissapointed by this, but know there are no other reasonable options, so we will be happy when we are back in 2 days and can see family.

So, we are doing our best to get in the Christmas spirit and I think I will make some cookies today. -S
