Mamacita says:  The holidays flash past so quickly, don’t they. . . .

My sisters are coming down in a few hours – good grief, it’s almost 3 a.m.! –  and we’re going to spend some time with our mother, admiring her Christmas tree – which is always absolutely gorgeous – and doing our annual New Year’s bargain search.  We’re thorough and we’re ruthless.  I only wish I had some money to spend.  Sigh.  The important thing, of course, is that I will get to see my sisters; I don’t get to see nearly enough of them throughout the year, and I miss them!

Mom said not to bring any food, because she’s going to order out and have something delivered.  Better and better!  Super!

Mom rocks.

This was a “few” years back, but you still don’t want to mess with my mom.

She has a Red Hat now, and she’s not afraid to use it!

She’s also still beautiful, inside and out.
