Could Nelson do what Opal asked?

Hold That Thought
This reminds me of when Kaitlin was little. Andy’s mother told her to remember something, and Kaitlin said,
I already have too much to remember!
Her brain was already full and it was impossible to add anything else. Years later, when we went to visit her when she was in grad school, she showed us her thick day timer and said,
That’s my brain!
Anyway, will Nelson be able to hold on to that thought until Opal is finished talking? See tomorrow’s post.

These Did Better Than I Expected
After my second celery died I tried planting some chives. But, as the internet warned me, they didn’t get enough light. They were pale and anemic, so I tossed them. Then, when I was sprouting some mung beans, I tried planting some of those.

They did a lot better than I expected, but now with winter coming they’re dying. Not enough light, and even though our windows are double paned, it’s still cold on the sill. I may try again next spring and summer. We’ll see.
I thought this video was fun to watch.
About winter — Andy stayed down here again yesterday. We had a bit of snow again, and he didn’t want to take chances driving up to the mountains. Tomorrow should be fine.
How are things going with you?

Inclement Weather
It rained down here yesterday, and it was supposed to snow in the mountains, so Andy stayed down here just in case. It was a quiet, peaceful day.
Angus and his wife are back from their trip. Yesterday he wrote,
The weather on our trip has been ‘challenging’. The force 10 gales and snow followed us a thousand miles North and then followed us a thousand miles South. This morning, after two weeks of being bounced around like laundry in a spin drier we’re still swaying with the motion of the boat.
Here in Scotland the weather is bright and sunny but bitterly cold. The neighbours inform us the view of the Northern Lights was wonderful. We bite our tongues.
He also wrote about a final dinner ashore with the Arizonans, which touched my heart again. He also mentioned their boat had kennels for the dog passengers, as well as a kennel master who would bring the dogs to the gangplank at every stop so the owners could walk them. How sweet is that?
