Joseph

Carpenter.  Solid, practical, reliable.  A good man.

He did the right thing but after Christmas is largely a forgotten man.  
Wonder if that will be my fate.

Jacinta and Ruth came over for a good part of the day.  Candlelit lunch, gentle chat, presents wrapped.  Almost all set for Christmas Day.  Just the turkey to prepare and stuff .... not going to be done before midnight though :-/

Hope your preparations went well.
