It's that time of the year that we enjoy our fireplace. We seem to have enough firewood each year from trees that come down in our yard and wood that our friend Bill brings to us.
My only problem these days is carrying it inside because of my bad back. Fortunately, I have a lovely family who will bring me buckets of wood so that I can keep the living room toasty warm.
Happy December!
All the best,
Lois
We are SO proud of our baby Lily and her trainer, our daughter Catherine! Lily has just achieved her first Qualifying Agility Run at our AKC Queen City Dog Training Club.
Lily is now on her way to achieving Agility titles. We are sure her great, great, great Aunt Penny is looking down from doggie heaven and proudly wagging her tail!
Here's the video of the run:
All the very best,

Yesterday morning I woke up to this on the dining room table. My Honey knows EXACTLY how to wow me on my birthday.
Thanks also go to Kjell's secret shopper, Catherine.
The day yesterday was wonderful. Relaxing all day, then a lovely dinner out with family and friends. The best part is I didn't have to do the dishes. More images to come.
All the best,
Lois
Awhile back I showed you the back of a sweater I had started for our daughter Catherine.
Well, the front and the back are finished, so it's time to design and make the sleeves.
I'm writing this new pattern as I go so it takes longer than my designs I've made many times over and over.
So far, so good!
Stay tuned!

I have set up a wrapping station in my second floor hallway. The two gifts in the image are birthday presents that I wrapped yesterday and will be giving in a couple of days, but I'll soon be wrapping Christmas gifts. I like doing this with the light coming through the large hallway window.
So, here we go for another season of gift wrapping and giving.
Happy December!
Lois
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here!
I took this image yesterday morning through a window and screen from my bedroom window.
Appointments were cancelled for the day giving us a little extra time to do other things.
Enjoy!

Our granddaughter, Anna, stopped by with something very special for me!
Anna and a friend had visited Alaska and when she saw this, she knew it was for me! As my regular readers know, I make bread often and, until recently, made sourdough bread. The sourdough I used was started here in Cincinnati so had a very good, local flavor.
It will be fun to revive this Alaskan sourdough and make bread with it!
Thank you, Anna!
More to come. :)
Lois
