I spent the day putting away Christmas decorations--it's time to do the annual Doll Inventory, and I need to clear off a flat space to set it up. I am sure Stripey will find a way to sit in the middle of whatever spot I clear--it's part of the annual tradition. Here's a photo from last week, when it was cold and I forgot a bottle of lavender cleaner out on the porch:
Photos from our mall visit on the Friday before Christmas--Santa getting last-minute requests:
Gifts for the golfer who has everything (these things are huge, and expensive--at least you could use the silver one for an end table...)
And finally, after two years and many near-death experiences, my tiny orchid is blooming!:
So Happy New Year, and may 2017 be better than 2016!
I hope you have a lovely 2017, and good luck tidying up all the holiday things~
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos ~ I feel the festivities haven't ended yet!
Thank you! We had a small Christmas since everyone had things to do; we just had a small tree, too. That makes it easy to put everything away! I hope you had a wonderful holiday, it looks like you are enjoying school, too!
DeleteHappy new year!!!
ReplyDeleteYour orchid is so pretty, I'm glad it finally bloomed!
I'm just glad it's still alive :D The poor thing gets too cold and too dry to really grow well, but it's doing it's best! Happy New Year to you too!
DeleteHappy New Year back! Good thoughts for Eric! I'm sure *I* have more than one pair of the same shoes, because if you have two guys and the shoes are on sale, they all come home! I will check your Flickr but you have made me well-supplied with elegant boy clothing! I just need to find a way to keep them organized :D
ReplyDeleteStripey is easy to photograph because she doesn't move fast...unless there is a wig on the floor!
