Around the block

 Went for a walk around the block the other day.  Saw some stuff, took pictures with my phone.  Decided I'd rather take pictures with my camera.  Got home, got the camera and walked back around the block.


Fungi and an old rusty pipe. (almost typed, pie) - Rusty pie doesn't sound very good.


Little snowdrop flowers blooming in someone's yard.


Seed pods on a tree and the road behind it.

This wasn't around the block but I thought I'd sneak it in anyway.


This is our old boy,   Harley J.  He turns 16 in May.

Winter arrived today

Hello and Welcome. - Gosh it's already the 12th of January and I've only posted once this year so far.  -  Life tends to get in the way sometimes and I don't get around to blogging as often as I'd like.
 
So far this year I've been busy with taking down the inside Christmas decorations (which is a big job), helping a little to take down the outside decorations (another big job).  I've also done other work around the house which was neglected through the holiday season.
 
It hasn't all been work though as I've bowled a couple of times already this year on the Tuesday morning league.  In fact I did great this past week averaging out for the 3 games at a 162!  I also spent a lovely afternoon playing Bunco with a great group of ladies and even took 3rd place winning a few $$ and just having a great time.
 
Our weather has been awesome for the most part with no snow at all in December.  We had a tiny skiff a few days ago that was gone by the next morning.  Last night though we got this:
 



 I cleared the walks off this morning with a "leaf blower"!  Lots of fun and since it was powdery snow easy to do.  Temperature is cold as the high today was only expected to be 15.  
 
For those of you who know me well you know I  (don't do winter, well) but I'm trying to think positive and that in only about 6 weeks it should be a whole lot nicer outside.  Each day is one day closer to spring!
 
Hope where ever you are you are staying, safe, warm, dry & enjoying life.

Happy New Year 2024

 Happy New Year everyone. - Our celebration this year was a little different but still fun.

We played Uno, Ate Nachos/Tacos, had some snack foods, sat around and talked, ate dessert, had a toast at midnight and blew our party horns.  This year we didn't set off fireworks and in fact there were very few being set off in the neighborhood unlike other years.

As is tradition we took a New Years photo...

Bottom Row,  Yours truly (Ida) - Jupiter (Coleen),  Anna an adopted family member now.  Back row,  Mike,  Joelle, Greta & Adam.
 

 Here's to the New Year!  May it bring you peace, joy & happiness.
 
From our hearts to yours.

A short video - Our lights

 Thought I would share a short video I took Christmas Eve of our holiday lights.  - The first house in the video was my mom's house and now our daughter and her family live there.  The one with the Nativity is our house.  -  Enjoy.

Christmas Family Time

 

                            Santa Claus - Christmas morning
 

                               She loves to pose for pictures.
 

                            She wanted mommy to pose too.
 

               A bit of fun while waiting to start opening presents.
 
The kitties got to enjoy the wrapping paper and boxes after gifts were opened.

The family at breakfast at my nieces place.  A good time was had by all.  Told a few stories about family members which apparently my memory was off on one of them (chalk it up to old age).  But it was worth a few laughs.
 
 


 Christmas dinner later,  Au Gratin Potatoes, Stuffing, Ham with Pineapple and a rice/bean salad.  Dessert was Pudding torte but I forgot to get a photo.
 
That's a wrap for Christmas of 2023.
