On the way home tonight I saw 16 houses decorated for Christmas. Most were entry level; lights at windows, a poinsettia, couple of baubles.

Always told not to play with broken glass as a child. Had fun playing with broken glass on purpose today. Looking forward to seeing what they look like when they’re out of the kiln.
