Making my grandma‘a Potica (paw-teet-sa). Sweet walnut bread to help get through this awful day.

These silly dogs! Charlotte doesn’t seem to care how much bigger Botwin is. They are so much fun

I love recognizing the winter solstice. Yesterday Dec 21 was the shortest day of the year and the longest night in the northern hemisphere. Cultures around the world have celebrated the solstice since ancient times. For me it’s a night of celebration of light and love. Happy solstice everyone! 🌅🌄🌇

It took a while but we got the Christmas tree decorated today. It will be good to take a big breath next week and relax.

Love being in Hawaii these last few weeks. Rest, relax, and recharge.
