I'll Be Seeing You, In Two Months

I'll be more forthcoming later on but for now, here's hoping your New Year will start out better than ours. From the Eriksson family, Happy New Year to all of you!

40 days and 40 nights, with Duolingo

Or, 40 jours et 40 nuits, avec Duolingo, as I would say if I spoke French well enough to do so. Which I suppose I actually kind of do.
