On Tuesday we took Daniel and Cahaya to Paul's parents in Hanover for a belated Christmas dinner -- Swedish meatballs (veggie and turkey), mashed potatoes (with and without milk for the lactose intolerant), carrots, lingonberries, Swedish rye and cheese, Christmas cookies, chocolates. We looked at old family photos and read cards and Skyped with Adam, who was in the middle of his workday overseen by his canine supervisor. When we left, we visited Black Rose Antiques, where Cahaya found some treasures and I found a gorgeous pair of glass candlesticks for almost no money.
We headed home via Gaithersburg so we could drive through the winter lights at Seneca Creek State Park, which were lovely as always and had several new displays. I got home in time to say goodnight to my Tuesday Voyager group, which had already watched "Macrocosm"; now we're watching the second episode of The Beatles: Get Back, which is really demonstrating to me how essential Ringo was -- he's the first one there every day, he talks to everyone, he jumps in with ideas and lyrics and beats without ever worrying about his credit the way George does -- and how brilliant Paul is!
