We celebrated Christmas today with our kids because this was the time everyone could be here. It isn’t the day which is important but being together. Chris and Kadi came over in their pajamas and then Lisa and Justin showed up shortly after. We had our traditional Christmas breakfast of homemade waffles, bacon and mimosas….
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 21 “Peace”
Aren’t those peace sign ornaments absolutely perfect for me? I was already thinking about leaving up the Mardi Gras colored garland year round and now with the peace signs, it’s settled. Ya gotta love it when friends “get” you:
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 20 “Tree Topper”
The angle of this photo makes the angel look smaller than it is but we really could use a larger one. I made the bow many, many years ago and if you look closely you’ll see a clear lucite ornament just under the bow. It says, “First Christmas Together 1981”. It has hung near the…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 19 “Candy Canes”
I stuck these organic candy canes from the Natural Candy Store in the cups *before* I poured in the boiling water which explains why they are so short – they had melted by the time I could get out my phone to take the picture. And this is totally unrelated to the photo challenge but I…
Cleaning house video – After
Here’s the “after” video: Now I need to get back to work. I’m cleaning and putting up the rest of the Christmas decorations and then I have an appointment with my chiropractor later this afternoon. Oh, how I hope he can fix my neck!
Cleaning house video – Before
A couple of weeks ago I decided to make before and after cleaning videos and uploaded them to YouTube. And then I never got around to sharing them here. The first thing I noticed when I watched on YouTube was that I should have turned my phone sideways. Oh, well. So here’s the “before”: Right…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 18 “Stocking”
Close to 20 years ago I bought four of these handmade stockings at a little shop here in town which isn’t around anymore. You can’t tell from the photo but it’s really big. When Lisa married Justin I took one of these stockings with me to a fabric store and since I couldn’t find anything…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 17 “Presents”
My Christmas shopping is essentially done but I’m waiting until the last orders arrive before wrapping anything. I like to do it in one fell swoop. Fortunately for this photo challenge, these three little gifts arrived in the mail today. Perfect timing!
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 16 “Christmas Lights”
This is a shot of our lights taken while standing on the balcony. The thing hanging in the middle is a wind chime. And now I’m caught up again. I’d write more but I’m working on our annual Christmas letter. I used to always have them ready to mail right around Thanksgiving but somehow that…
