New Year’s for a new generation!

 

New ink for the new year!

 

I learned two new words today.

 

Our winter break Netflix binge watch:

 

Boxing Day: a cat’s favorite holiday.

 

Merry Christmas from snowy Clockville, NY.

 

And to all a good night!

 

Rain’s done; now the polar vortex.

 

Happy holiday break to us both!

 

Finally got our wood chips delivery!

 For our newest flower bed, being created naturally this winter with cardboard, leaves, and wood chips laid over grass and around the shrubs. It’s been harder than it should be to get said wood chips. 

‘Tis the season for gift exchanges!

 

Pets are loving our Winter Wonderland!

 

Hope the hype was well deserved!

 

Happy holidays from all of us!

 

Winter break ready. Can you tell?

 

Nose has returned to its home.

 Just a little plastic surgery to kick off the winter break, after taking an elbow to the face in a basketball game last week. Was a quick surgery and she’s feeling minimal pain…the doctor even cleared her to play in January as long as she wears a face mask. 

Snowy and cold (remembering warmer times)

 

First year, no broken ornament wagers.

 

Today’s work vibe: winter’s first snow!

 

Just in the nick of time!

 In the eleventh hour, our leaves are finally in place to create our newest bed. Still waiting on the wood chips, but with the five or so inches of snow we’re getting right now, this will do!

Will tomorrow be snow’s first day?

 

When your smart tv outsmarts you!

 

Keeping with the Christmas animal vibe…

 

More Christmas spirit. Goodie from 2014!

 

Gearing up for the Christmas rush.

 

Getting surly in her old age.

 

Muffins for Monday (once every month)

 For tomorrow, orange cranberry! 

Welcome to year 41, Brooke Hopkins!

 

A happy birthday eve to me!!

 

Beautiful/brutal (hope it ends well)

 

Tense game with a good result!

You ready for tomorrow’s big game?!

 

We’re home! And baking season’s here!

Homeward bound (babies always love David)

 

Made friends with a monkey today.

 

Another day, another pretty palm tree.

 

When the same gecko visits twice.

 

What’s your room vice? Ha ha.

 

Settling right into the island vibes.

 

Perfunctory first dip while I supervise.

 

Vacation: off to an auspicious start!

Yes, I did get stuck in the airplane bathroom somewhere over Tennessee.

“They’re packing and I’m NOT happy.”

 

Just a few days away now!

 

Counting down and getting very excited!

 

First tub in the falling snow.

 

Halloween and Christmas are mingling awkwardly.

 

New week, new book. Highly recommended!

 

23 days later, laundry facilities returned!

 

Happy news to share with you!

Another basement before/after. Getting closer!

 

When you can be exhausted together.

 

Don’t forget! Tomorrow’s a big day!
