 Happy New Year!  After the hustle and bustle of Christmas, it's kind of nice to just kick back and do normal everyday things.  A large part of those "things" for me is taking care of all of our animals, both inside and out.  My big project this winter is cleaning out the basement.  Sort of a New Year's resolution.  That should be an adventure!

I put together a group of borders, tags and a pearl swirl to enhance your pages with the blog train kit.

Boo is happy Christmas is over and the house is getting back to normal again.  He will miss the tree though.  He likes sleeping under it.  That's the last thing that comes down. 

2026 . . . Here we come!

Except for several years of living in Southern California, I have always lived in snow country.  Playing in snow is our way of convincing ourselves that all that snow falling from the sky really isn't so terrible.  In fact, it's beautiful to look at, fun to play in, and on some days, it's a real adventure to drive in :)  And, we have a thing here called "Snow Days" where nobody goes nowhere until it stops snowing and the plows go through to clear the roads and my long driveway.

Oh, the things I do to Boo's pictures!!  I have to dress up his pictures because he certainly wouldn't let me do these things to him!  He is a joy, but sometimes his Maine Coon half comes out in him and he can be less than cooperative. 

From my family to yours, have a very Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving has become my favorite holiday because it's all about food, family and friends.  We talk all day while we're cooking, catching up on each other's lives, playing games with the kids and just simply enjoying each other's company.  It's wonderful.

As you can see . . . I REALLY like Thanksgiving and Fall in general.  I couldn't decide which turkey couple I liked the best, so I added a few more colors and made a second kit.  There are also enough colors from the blog train palette, so you can mix and match pieces to your liking.  Enjoy!

I found Boo in this position in the guest room one day, laying on the floor, but braced against the wall.  The perfect caption should read "I can't believe I ate the whole thing!!"  Life with Boo is always  an adventure!  

Happy Thanksgiving !!

Although the weather is quite nice yet, the leaves are just starting to change color.  It's really quite lovely walking through the woods.  I have noticed that the squirrels have been gathering nuts all summer long and into fall.  I sure hope that isn't an indication of what type of winter we're going to have!

This is the best part of October . . . trips to the pumpkin patch to find those perfect pumpkins for carving.  The farm we go to also have a petting zoo and they take you out to the pumpkin field in horse-drawn wagons.  I love that part the best because I've always wanted a pair of draft horses.  My uncle had Clydesdale horses.  So big, but so gentle.  I used to ride them when I was young.  I could sit Indian-style on their backs and just enjoy the ride.  It was great!  Beautiful animals.  And, it just wouldn't be Halloween without a witch!

Well now . . . what have we here?  When my husband got back from his last kayaking trip out west, he always cleans up his gear before packing it away for winter.  Boo, of course, felt compelled to "help".  What can I say?  He's a "daddy's boy"!!

See you in November!
