Christmas at Home

My grandmother collected Danish plates. While I was at my parents for Christmas, I got the one of hers that I had asked for.
It's not my birth year (just a little too late), but it's my favorite. I remember being very little and having people tell me that the little girl on her mom's lap was me. :)It's evidently titled "Christmas at Home."
Here it is on my wall.

Age Has Its Privileges

My 96-year-old grandmother gave Sirius cookies. Not dog cookies, but butter cookies, from a tin. (No one else is allowed to give him people food...)
That blur in the lower left-hand corner is my dog wiggling himself into a frenzy for a cookie... :o)

Mary by the Highway

On my way home last night, I got stopped by a train in Dawson, Nebraska. I looked to my right and saw this. The local Catholic church is "St. Mary" and has a lighted statue in its courtyard. The train was long, so I got out to snap a few more photos.
Most of them were totally blown out by the huge lights.
These three I got by putting my hand in front of the light (it was hot)...
She's pretty.
Even her toes. :)

Superfluity

Only in an SCA household would something calig'ed and complete with seal make it on the refrigerator. :o)

When Wynn Fixes Fence


Last night I attempted a fence fix. Unfortunately, it was too dark to get pics of Sirius bouncing up and down (literally) across the yard the first time I let him out without a leash. Looking at it this morning, I'm kinda glad I have the "dark" and "cold" excuses.

We Agree

Sirius practicing his "I miss my new friends and
by the way it's too hot in this house" laundry room pout.
I mostly agree... :)
