“Not having any potatoes to give you, I am now going to stake you to some very valuable advice…”*

I had a long week at work and a very busy Friday and Friday night, so I took it easy this weekend.
I read broadly from this collection of Damon Runyon stories,
and enjoyed it very much if I do not say so myself. Old Runyon has a voice like no other, and the stories, which sometimes involve murder and revenge and heartbreak, are always diverting and stress-reducing in their politically-incorrect way.
I recommend it highly.
Otherwise, I puttered around the house, cleaning and straightening.
And the Christmas cactus is blooming!
All will be well.
May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
–Colossians 1:11
And by the way, next Sunday is Advent I! Can you believe it? Enjoy the short work week!

The house looks lovely! And I call dibs on the Runyon when I’m home 🙂
I would love to read some Runyon! And why can’t I get my Christmas cactus to bloom?
Benign neglect works for me. 🙂
I love when posts feature pictures of the Dualpersonality homes 😊. I definitely want to read the Guys and Dolls stories too! I’ve been on a bit of a musicals kick lately and I haven’t forgotten that which is one of my personal fav’s
Mary beat me to saying “The house looks lovely!” but it really does. I should have taken some photos of my clean house, too! Hurrah for a short week!!
