夕方、娘とスーパーまで手をつないで歩いて行った。
娘は自分でちゃんと靴を履いていたもんで、出るまで普通靴と気づかなかった。だので、ぬかるみや除雪された雪の山を超える時は抱っこするはめに。でも、全部歩いてくれたんで、本当に助かった。横を歩く娘の小さい、ピンクの靴の足どりを見ながら、歩く。帰り、娘はスーパーで買った饅頭を始終ぎゅっと握りしめていた。
帰ってから、お茶を飲んで夕飯の支度。
今日はカレーとサラダ。
気づいたらもう大晦日になっている。
早く寝なくちゃ。

ニューヨークは大雪
ずーっと雨も何も降らなかったニューヨークでしたが、昨日ついにズドーーンと来ました。いきなりの大雪です。乾燥しており温度も低かったため、さらっさらのパウダースノー。これで滑ったら気持いいだろうなぁ。滑るとこないけど。
午後には家の前の通りで娘と、しばし雪遊び。まだまだ雪かきが行き届かず、車は一台も通らない。歩行者のみ。雪に足を取られて転んだり埋まったりする度に大はしゃぎの娘。バケツいっぱいに雪をつめて持ち帰り、帰宅後はしばらくバスルームでアイスクリーム屋さんしてました。

| 昨晩、吹雪いてる時に窓から撮った。 粉雪が風で狂ったように舞っていたんだけど、 写真だとわからず残念。 |
| 朝。 |
| 吹きだまりは1m以上あるところも。 |
| 「もうおうちに帰るーー!!!」 この後廊下で滑って転んでさんざんなキリ。 |
| 朝焼いた、オレンジ・クランベリー・スコーン。 |

my friend's wedding
So, many things happen in the past year. We started our new life in New York City; we made some good new friends; Randy lost his studio (happily, in a way); he started working at home; and I opened up an online shop.
Among the good things, there was my good friend Helen's wedding. With complicated circumstances, we couldn't make it - this was one of my big disappointments this year.
Helen was Randy's printmaking student in Boston & that's how I got to know her. She's one of the nicest people I know. If you could ever humanize the words good, kind, and thoughtful that'd be her - well, at least for me it is. She is a good girl, and what's more, her egg salad sandwich is really good.
I had her invitation up on my fridge for a long time because it was one of the most special mails I've received. It was all hand-screenprinted by her (she's a hard worker, too!). It spoke her language in every way. Randy looked at the cards and said, "I don't wanna mail back this RSVP. It's too nice. Just make a copy and send that back!"
I imagine her wedding was as beautiful & sunny as she is.
