Lovely to hang out with an old friend on New Year’s Eve. Barb’s dog, Doc, made himself at home on the sofa.

Probably the most horrific artistic representation of a cat I’ve ever seen. Found at an antique mall in Culpeper.

I like looking at these cars parked in a neighbor’s driveway. They obviously like gold cars.

This lovely poinsettia and basket of fruit were sent to me from friends. Always lovely to receive a delivery.

Whenever I turn a corner on a hike and see a dark object I always have the same 3 reactions in about 10 seconds. 1) Whoa, made me jump, is it an animal? 2) Excited. Is it a bear? 3)Disappointed. It’s not a bear. 

Every time, it’s the same responses...

The carnage of a Christmas dinner. Food devoured, drinks depleted and now the clean up begins. Whew!!
