The characters’ monthly letters are up at the For Better or For Worse site. No doubt this will be fixed soon, but one paragraph in Elly’s letter currently reads (bolding is mine):

Which brings me back to the weather. It’s a cold day with a clear sky and pink on the horizon where the sun is beginning to set. The snow is still white and beautiful. Two gods are sitting at the front door looking wistful. I’m going to take them for a walk, and think about all the things for which I am truly grateful. When I come back, I’ll be a stronger spoke on the wheel. Well, I guess I’ve spoken!

Lares and Penates, perhaps. Or possibly Gog and Magog.
