brrrr

Scarlett has the right idea when it comes to coping with the weather. (I know Sam. She IS Val. We even find ourselves putting the blanket over her head to help soothe her little barky problem.)

some pictures from this weekend:

No uninvited guest's! No uninvited apostrophes!




This is eggs benedict, showgirl style.
This is chicken fried french toast. I had no idea anyone deep fried french toast. Now we know!

Cal-gerrific!

You will notice from the quality that the camera is not working-- just camera phone pictures this trip!

Christmas Decorating

We started our decorating. Liz has reached nadir so it's been pretty low key around here, but the tree and most of the village went up yesterday. Our friend Nic-T from the Cape-B came by to instruct us on proper placement of the lights and our sad little tree looks better than it ever has!

The christmas village is mostly assembled (Maggie's job!) and there are a few bulbs to replace there.

There are wreaths on the doors, etc but the tree and the village are the backbone of our decorations.



What are the lady and the tramp doing in the pet shop? I wonder if THIS pet shop is just where the pets do their shopping. Another possibility: the snowmen having a little meeting below are dog slave traders.

Here we have a water tower with a santa face bridge. This city planner knew what she was doing. Also, note the unique plant life which seems to be growing upside down from the top of the roof.



Last, we'll leave you with the latest white board. This one is a mixed media creation!
