“What were the 70’s like?”

Me, age three or four, in a Smokey the Bear teeshirt holding a can of Busch practically the size of my torso.

This is the face of a cat who does not like Outside Noises and is not happy a thunderstorm just went right overhead.

I made butter! Or rather, my stand mixer did.

These days they are more likely to shove each other into the floor than cuddle, but sometimes….

Brown tabby on the left, calico on the right, cuddle up on a fuzzy grey blanket.

Sometimes a center pull just happens like magic. Sometimes it…doesn’t.

Two skeins of yarn - a cream color with a
perfect center pull - and a bright pink skein that looks like it threw up a yarn baby.

Not sure the new ACNH update will hold my attention for more than a week, but it was worth it for this.

And now the hardest part of taking down the tree: matching the glass candy canes to the correct boxes.

12 glass candy canes in various colors, and a pile of boxes they go in.

You posted about these, and then I just met up with my dad and sister to exchange Christmas gifts and she got me one!

They have their own electric blanket.

Ou holiday party for work tonight is musical themed and we were encouraged to wear band tee shirts so I dug out this gem from 1997.

This is Logan. Every night he races me upstairs so he can steal my bed.

I am reminded of how much we love our hardwood floors, tho.

Photo of the entrance tomy living room. The hardwood floors are golden, the door is brown, the walls are blue and there’s a print of a painting of the Edmund Fitzgerald on the wall next to the door. There should be a console cabinet under the painting but I had to move it for the fridge delivery.

Happy birthday, Jim Henson. This photo feels like it was taken in a different lifetime but I will never forget my visits to the Center for Puppetry Arts.

Does a few days before my 16th birthday count?

The cover of Nirvana’s 1991 album, Nevermind. It shows a naked baby swimming underwater in what appears to be a pool, chasing after a dollar bill. (The baby, now grown up, is loudly not thrilled with his former modeling job.)

We are back after most of a week in Sault Ste Marie, MI and while it is warmer here, it was prettier there.

Sunlight on water, with a concrete boat launch in the foreground and two small wooden piers on the left.

Sunlight on water with grass and tree that have not yet grown leaves for the year in the foreground and to the right. The grass is green but has tire tracks in it.

Blue water and a bright blue sky, with a small outcropping of rocks and trees in the upper right, a rocky platform in the middle of the river, and trees on the other side of the river.

Last year this house did a huge dragon. This year, Vader.

Also I set a new personal best today, by almost 25M. Don’t ask me about my other games today, they were abysmal.

We got a son in law for Christmas! After almost seven years of cohabitation, our daughter and her boyfriend decided they didn’t need a big wedding and eloped last weekend. ❤️❤️

1) I’ve always been weird 2) HOW high is my dad in this photo?? 😂

Three people in front of a Christmas tree - a brown haired 8 year old girl looking off to the side making double peace signs, a bearded man and a blond woman, both in their 30s. The picture is from 1984 or so.

Why does Duo look like he’s about to attack me with a welding torch? (Also after 244 days of Hawaiian I have not gotten very far, but it’s mostly for fun/brain exercising.

Logan can actually sleep not on a person, but only if he has to.

We have been sent photos of three tiny motherless kittens, two of which will come home to us if all goes well. It’s still weird enough Logan is our eldest cat (by 3 weeks) but the idea of him being eldest by 5 years?? He and Kira still feel like kittens to us.

My city has this tiny little park where they are attempting to bolster the nature preserve across the street so they can have one of every native Michigan tree. Today in there we saw a Mama Deer and two fauns.

An 8 year old beat me at this incomprehensible dual pinball today. I still have zero idea how points were accumulated.

Two people playing a two player pinball table. At one end of the table is a woman with long brown hair and a mask, at the other you can just see the back of a small blonde boy’s head.
