Happy Friday!

The flower markets were bustling today as everyone gathered fresh flowers for the new year.  People rolled suitcases to work in preparation for their early evening flights.  Anticipation, whether for families and friends gathered around a home-cooked feast, or the warmer sunnier beaches of a nearby tropical isle, or just time to sleep in, relax and while away the days, made the air heady.  A five day weekend is serious stuff.
