Danny has discovered catalogs, and the world may never be the same.
With his birthday coming up in about a week, Danny has now contracted a serious case of the gimmees, and the catalogs just add fuel to his burning desire for presents. He wants everything in those catalogs. Everything.
And with Christmas only 19 days behind Danny’s birthday, this condition isn’t going to go away soon. Sigh.
On the other hand, our big Christmas present is beginning to take shape. Right now there is a hole. Not much, you might say, but within days that hole will have concrete footing, frost walls, and basement walls standing in it. And within weeks of that, there will be a house.
Not a finished house, to be sure, but four walls, three floors, a roof, and exterior windows and doors. All wrapped in Tyvek and waiting for some elbow grease to turn it into a living space.
It’s scary. It’s very, very exciting. And it’s really happening!
