the winter solstice....

ok, so today is the winter solstice, which i shall celebrate with my friend gail, over a bottle of sauvignon blnac that i only bought because the store clerk suggested it to the lady in front of me at the check-out...we shall see......i am cheerful today despite having no vacation time that would allow me to not be here at all.......blah day...might as well get paid for being at work rather than laying aroudn the house waiting for christmas guests to arrive....neither my brother nor my eldest has arrived......not that my eldest will stay around long...as his girlfriend has family in both lexington and nicholasville.....and both have apartments in lexington.....we shall dine together once at least- thursday at shakertown...where the shaker lemon pie is tart to my liking....and the egg in aspic on anchovey toast is always a welcome appetizer.......
