Since I'm starting later in the month, I decided to go with the shortest of his plays, The Comedy of Errors.

 A newer tradition developed from the horrors of certain families, or maybe just the stress of all the preparation, but Hubby and I are ditching all that this year - we're going camping.

Be safe, be fed, be thankful. All my love.
