Hmmm, I have no idea what this is.

We'll go out for dinner as usual, but probably where a friend works at an Indian restaurant. At the witching hour we get our annual splurge of alcohol and share a split of champagne. Tomorrow it's traditional with pork and sauerkraut. Hope we all have a good evening and wishing everyone a...

Hawks are such special birds! Love that blue sky photo and great page.

Love that head-on shot! Funny how stray cats seem to survive even extreme weather. Great page.

Love the photo and your New Year's greeting! Beautiful way to do the text.
