Another chilly, rainy day with another birthday celebration to brighten my day! Tonight, I had dinner with the Goldstones. Heather cooked the traditional Martin (my maiden name) meal—salmon cakes with kale and mashed potatoes. To be the true tradition, it would have been creasy greens, not kale. But creasy greens are definitely a southern thing, not found easily in New England. My gifts were a book with the title TROUBLE MAKER, but they assured me it was about ‘good trouble’! And since I haven’t had time to work a puzzle all winter, I got a puzzle that I can’t resist. It is 32 dog stamps, one of which is a little black doodle that looks just like Shadow. Thank you, Heather, Jed, Jonah, and Ollie.
