Pajamas. A cup of coffee. A book. Sunlight filtering in through the window. Really no different from any other morning, except maybe the lingering a little longer in pajamas. Yesterday a late afternoon movie, Philomena. Dinner with friends, Mexican, after which we go back to their house, some … [Read more...] about New Year’s Day
