Coco was supposed to be here today while Ben worked, but he's sick. Plans thwarted, I'm sitting here at my computer listening to both dogs snore and trying to think of what to do today. Perry is working a double, and it's too early to put away holiday decorations even...
Two family get-togethers on one day ain't easy, but we made it work. Festivities #1... The drive to Rising Sun was uneventful and we at least remembered to take group photos. The photos from my family's holiday were sketchy at best. I got lots of photos of people's...
Our family Christmas is tomorrow -- as I mentioned earlier... I have 2 celebrations on the same day. I'm looking forward to seeing Perry's Mom and having my tiny family here tomorrow evening. But sheesh! I don't know if I'm coming or going. Getting through today will...
As I worked upstairs yesterday, the snow was coming down like crazy. Sideways even! It was ASNutiful but just didn't last long enough. In addition, it didn't stick and it was windy. I'm still waiting on a "real" snow! Ready for whatever comes next. The upstairs is...

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal... hope you did as well. (You can check out photos from the festivities by CLICKING HERE.) Here's one that wasn't included there... I thought we had everything typically served for Thanksgiving dinner, but in hindsight, I know we...

Late morning and it's not hit 40° yet. That's a stark difference from last week where it didn't get below 70° even at night. I know it's expected in mid-November, but it's nippy out there! Random times 3. ONE: Happy Veteran's Day -- and thanks to all willing to make...
First, and most importantly, my poor mamma is still under the weather. COVID hit her hard and although she was feeling better for a time, it's back (or something is) with a vengeance. She sees the doctor in the morning and I'm sure hoping there's something that can be...
