For Christmas from Sam and Michelle, the kids received some Sand. That might not sound like a very good Christmas gift, but not that I said "Sand", not "sand". It's a big difference, in that regular sand could never be used indoors at a kitchen table, but Sand is a product (by Brookstone, although Kinetic Sand is another brand) that is basically a cross between sand and Play-Doh. Like sand, it's fine grained, but like Play-Doh, it's mostly cohesive in that it sticks to itself. It's moldable, cuttable, shapeable, etc, but it won't break out into individual grains and make a big mess. It's a lot of fun to play with, and the kids (well, and the grown-ups) really like it. So we are appreciative they sent us Sand and not a box of actual Florida sand.
Joanna is in town for the Christmas season, and when she is, we always try to get together for a lunch. We went to Chili's this time and had a good meal, although as always I ate way too much chips and salsa, but that meant I got to take home half of my meal for leftovers. We always enjoy spending time with each other, so I was thankful we were able to make something work with both our schedules before she flies home tomorrow.
