I've been distracted the last few days. First thing on Jan. 1, Puzzle Up arrived so we've been working on that. Plus, also on the first I got a message via Ancestry from a person with names of the parents of one of my ancestors, data and reference to a document in which the man names his oldest...

I think this may be better than the one I "lost" and ends the pages of 2018 (but I still have those 3 in Oct. to finish or do.)

Today is a year later than this in 2018 and colder with snow, but still, 5 juncos and 3 goldfinch at the feeder and tonight will be more bubbly. Credits: Frosty Mornings by et designs fonts: Ahnberg, Magnolia Sky, Candara

Just seeing that many Ooos are already there, but wishing a Happy New Year. We got snow last night and today, so another light coating for us to start 2020. And, Trudy, the turtle is gorgeous!

2018 is getting close to done with week 52 here. Still need the last two days (and I had it nearly done when the program closed without my ever having saved it, dummy me) and 3 in Oct., two just waiting for the writing.

This week last year seems a lot like this year and equally nice. Credits: all by Anna Aspnes -paper, word art: ArtPlay Palette Silver Bells -elements: ArtPlay Palette Verdure -mask: Verdure FotoBlendz No. 1 fonts: Jane Austen, Erie, Pristina, Candara

Took so long to post that I cross-posted with both Trudy and Kay. Kay, sure hope you feel better today! The knitting looks really nice. and Trudy, hope you can get rid of those pounds easily.

Last night we were urged to go early to get in for dinner and the game, so we went early and got a parking space as a car was leaving as we arrived and there was an empty deuce in the corner, so we had a spot. The game was another story. We only made it to the half and listened to the rest on...

Just more post-holiday today, a little more laundry and then tonight hoping to find a spot for dinner at our usual place to watch the Ohio State bowl game (as we don't have ESPN, can't watch at home). Also back to working on genealogy stuff that I've let slide. One set of the photos from my...

The Lucifer's is gorgeous! The pops of color make everything stand out. Great story of the neat yet so far.

Yesterday was great. We always have a fun morning and then a long talk with BiL in Oklahoma. The evil cat got one of her mice and loved it (and hid it!) and the thing we sent for bird feeding he had a hummingbird feeder he reassembled to hold the round cake of nuts and stuff. We'll see who...

Merry Christmas to all the O-family! DH didn't get up when I did and is just finishing breakfast. Then we'll open gifts that Santa left last night. Meanwhile Pandora's playing folksong-type Christmas songs on our TV.

Merry Christmas! And what Chris said, but from Ohio.

H&S yesterday was so nice. I took photos, a video (short), and even sketched a bit. The sound in this big space was better than expected and people coming and going got a fun surprise. We really enjoyed it. Here they are, all except a woman who accidentally cut a finger and was on the sidelines...

Here is week 51 - from LAST year. Similar in some ways to now.

Still catching up with last year's weekly pages, now doing the right time period to get in the mood. Credits: Oscraps Collab Comfort & Joy (2019 December downloads) -bird: Winter Fun, Digital Stamps 01 by SoMa Design -mask: WaterColor FotoBlendz No. 5 by Anna Aspnes fonts: Jane...

Gotta run as DH is leaving soon for H&S but I am going with as they are going to play for an hour in the community atrium and I'll get to listen & take pix. It's because they weren't asked to perform at the Dec. potluck lunch. Later!

Oh, Chris, this is perfect! What a great LO and charming photos.
