You know how it is....
the big build up....
parties....
jamey visiting....
presents on christmas morning...
a big christmas dinner....
pfffft....finished now.
now all there is to look forward to is taking down the decorations.
new year's? i have to work all the 31st.
who cares about new year's eve?
i don't know anyone to invite over who isn't at least 70 years old.

it was a nice sunny day and fairly warm on christmas day...almost 70.
gene and jamey played horseshoes.
jamey and i rode bikes.
i hadn't been on my bike since i hurt my knee...SEVEN months!
i was a little nervous...but it was great.

gene made quite a few bottlecap snakes for jamey's friends.
i showed jamey how to make the head and tail out of clay.
kids in new york are about to get "snaked".
and we made toby a new one.

it's been cold.
in the 20's every night.
missy the cat LOVES it when we drip the faucets outside.
it's her favorite place to drink water.
and besides...the fountain and outdoor pet bowl and birdbath are frozen.

tomorrow we are supposed to have a wind storm with 55m.p.h. winds.
gene and i might go to presidio and across the border to ojinaga, mexico.
it's a 3 hour drive each way.
will give a report if we go.

i got the BEST present ever for christmas from gene.
it's a portable photosmart!
you hook it up to your computer or camera and print out great quality photographs.
we've had SO much fun with it so far.
jamey was jealous.

another great gift was that jamey gave us 3 CD's with pictures from her vacation drive on route 66 all the way to San Francisco.
and her pictures of china.
and her pictures from our october trip to cozumel.

thanks to brother brook we are now well equipped with fire extinguishers...yay!

Guess that's all.
let's check in with the radio hotline:
for sale:
tanning bed. (what...we don't have enough sun out here already?)
a glass beer mug. (huh?)
wanted:
someone to fix a hole. (i'm not touching that one folks!)

thanks for blogging!
love, mary
