My Day-To-Day Photos

Stephen and Loretta came home feeling sick,  Brenda was sick the next day, and Mom the next. By boxing day, I went down and today is my worst day yet. Lethargy and a runny nose being the main symptoms. But we still had a lovely Christmas.  I'll let the pictures tell the story. Made this house for the farm. Georgia wanted to open this one. Collected photos from the past to make place cards for the farm table. Bear enjoying his giant bone. A stroke inducing puzzle - but finished in two days. Goof. Exit The Game KK absolutely obsessed with her furry dog head project. Sooty felt he deserved a blanket on the heated floor, so he dragged one down for himself. A lovely puzzle to work on.

Snow Doggo Big Red Egg - always a favourite. Still waiting for more snow to make this purchase worthwhile. I didn't think I'd enjoy the "Cities and Knights" expansion for Settlers, but it's quite a lot of fun. I'm dreaming of a plaid Christmas. Todd had to turn off the po...

There is a lot going on in this post - birthday, recital, goofing off, etc.  All because, I'm not keeping on top of the blogging thing, but all is not lost, it is just congested. I'll have to another post shortly after this one, because as I'm writing this, the house is all decked out and I have not one picture of it yet. Anyway, as you can tell by the photos, life has been good lately. First of - goofiness, more creepy really... Shortly after this snowfall, a large snow blower for the tractor was purchased, and then the snow all but disappeared.  Enjoying the new landscape. The painted snowy spruce I did for our a good portion of our Christmas cards this year. I figured the blog needed a picture of its photographer here and there, so here I am sporting a new do. After Jared finished his Toronto puzzle (I helped a little), we went on a jigsaw spree. This was the first we did, and we were disappointed to find it was missing a piec...
