I'm back on the bandwagon... Oh, and I've had some trouble with pictures getting into the wrong hands, so I've changed security settings... You may have to request being a friend or family to see.  This month was a small upload....

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow...

...or when the valley's hushed and white with snow...

Unfortunately, we got more of that dreaded white stuff this week.  But it's gone now.  I'm getting itchy to get outside and get started on my gardens again.

As always, the full upload is here, and these are my favorites...

Collecting donations for the band...

Putting up the Christmas tree.  We decided it was way too big... This was the last year for it...

Opening presents...

Opening presents...

Millions of people living as foes ...

 Maybe it's not too late To learn how to love And forget how to hate ....

Oh, if only we could get the world to listen to those words...

Well, it is starting to warm up here, this week, we should get into the 40s fairly consistently.  That would be nice for a change!

Old Business:

• Done reading becoming wise.  So good.  Passed it on to 016.
• Garage, sigh, always needs tidying.  But I try to do a little bit before I start something.  And when I finish something.
• Scrapping still on hold...
• Magazines are getting read
• More massage promotions (Groupon, Radio Ad + Valentine give-away, MassageBook)
• Kitchen ceiling is done - yea!
• New printer is cool!
• Winter list - electrical panel is mapped out, and a good list attached to it
• Hinges are not going to be done by me.  I tried.  Too much effort.  Will bag up and take to Goodwill
• Need to get to scrapping again. 
• Memorabilia pile is put away. Pictures were ordered, now they need to be filed...
• Swiffer replacements (reusable) have been made. Even sent one to 022.

New Business:

• Next on the project list is getting my mom's footstool reupholstered.  Should be fun; I've never done it before. Although my gramma & aunt used to do it professionally.
• And the letterman jacket.  I need to get that done before he graduates!  LOL

Time to remember repairing the roof leak over the bathroom

Two left feet? Yup, I always knew it, now my socks confirm it!

I was so hard to please, don't look around...

... the leaves are brown and the sky is a hazy shade of winter...

Oh, my does it look like winter around here.  Sub-zero temps and snow.  But it is supposed to warm up, so maybe that would be nice... Hopefully not turn things too swampy before the next snow....
