Thank you. The tension is intense. We syopped watching the news on Friday ,and actually enjoyed a Christmas baking competition yesterday. Yes, this is your aunt.

I'm off for a good walk on this glorious, spring-like day.

May the Force be With Us.🙏

Indeed. I am eased by the knowledge that we won't know for ages. It makes the waiting a bit easier if I know I'm not going to know.

The stress is real, tangible. Thank you for the lovely photos and I'm happy to see that you are exploring different corners of Portugal! Enjoy and know that the majority of your fellow Americans still believe in democracy and decency...I anticipate a pent-up anger, post-it note-driven, equal rights supporting blue wave, but we'll see...

Thank you for this post! As others have commented, the stress and anxiety is real. On the positive side, the embassy has cashed our money orders. We take that as a sign that things are at least moving along. Maybe. Love from New Mexico

Hello, how are you both doing? I am happy to have received this "check-in" post from you, haha. Anyway, we are good. We have to trust the (electoral) process. 😊
