Mugs on Socks

January 27, 2025

Christmas in January! What a fun (and unexpected) package we opened this afternoon: socks from dear Maya! One pair for me, one pair for Jim, each duly customized.

Got a sweet text from Maya this evening. Now that the holidays are over and she and Peter are together again in Ann Arbor, she is opening the Christmas presents we sent home with Peter (at Thanksgiving!). She explained her plan to open one present each day (to savor each one?). There are four from us.

Seems as good a plan as any…

Tonight she opened the dress I bought for her last February when I was traveling in Guatemala (nearly a year ago!). About the dress, she said, “I know you said you were nervous about it, but I really love it. Fits well and I’m excited to wear it in the warm weather.”

It’ll be awhile. The high temp in Ann Arbor today is 28 degrees (low 9 degrees!) Snowing on Friday.

She wears it well!!
