Arrived at Jill's on the evening of Dec. 31

We arrived after a very long flight from Dallas and brief taxi ride from the airport to a very cheerfully decorated house! The picture doesn't do it justice. It was also balmy with a slight breeze which carried the perfume of the flowering trees to our noses--80 degrees AND a full moon to boot. However, it was an empty house..no people, no Riley. But, we weren't ready for entertaining...we were ready to eat something and hit the sack.
