there's no place like home for the holidays; in this case, my son Michael Anderson's his wife Blythe's and daughter Sophie's home in Reno, Nevada. Michael's older daughter Macall and I arrived in Reno on the 19th, the 20th we had manicures and pedicures, the 21st I had a hair cut and new color to cover the quickly emerging grey , the effect of perhaps too many past holidays (?), and now we're ready for the real festivities! I am notorious as the quintessential Grinch; I haven't had a twinge of the ole spirit in years! this year I'll try to conjure up some semblance of what it's all about. certainly the Anderson house has spirit aplenty!
