Fran's Vacation

Fran's Vacation

"I had a very quiet Christmas vacation. Our family was recovering from the death of my nephew, Russell. I just spent a lot of time with my family giving and receiving support from them. I was also very busy before Xmas Eve preparing for the twenty day feast for Russell, and then again on January 13 when we had a forty day potluck celebration in his honor.

Otherwise, I blissfully overslept just about every day during the vacation.

My advice to all families is to lock the firearms away if your family members like to drink."
