Back to Work

Our office was still not back to full strength today, but at least we weren't the only two there. Then this afternoon I got the oil changed in the van and tried to get the inspection done since it expired at the end of December. I tried two different places, without success. I'll have to try again tomorrow and hope I don't get a ticket on the way to DFW tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn. Gary is headed to LSA meetings where he's going to freeze his behind.

Christmas Photos

2007 Christmas

I've finally gotten my photos organized from our Christmas week. One of them is a short movie, but I think you can access it just like any of the photos. Once the album has downloaded onto your computer and opened, using the Slide show option works pretty well for viewing the photo and caption.

'Tis the Season

... to get engaged. We've had no fewer than three nice girls from the neighborhood get engaged this Christmas season. They had been dating for approximately 2.5 years, 2.5 months, and 2.5 days respectively.

Lucky for me, a new shipment of pottery from Desert Sun Pottery (aka Grammie) arrived today. Well, really it is lucky for the brides-to-be, because I like giving Grammie's pottery for wedding gifts.

As you can see, Grammie must be experimenting with a new multicolored glaze. Quite lovely.

Linda's Best Present

Actually, this was my anniversary present from my 32-years married husband.

Also, I got many nice things for Christmas, including a new set of silverware (12 place settings). I was glad David took the old set off my hands so I wouldn't feel too wasteful.

In another day or two I hope to post an album of all the Christmas activities.
