    And peace to you and your 2-legged and 4-legged family as well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the beauty of your home. Looking forward to a new year full of promise.

    To Pat: Thanks! Good grief, I knew that. What ever was I thinking? Me sure is stupid sometimes.

    I hope everyone is getting a chance to enjoy some peace, love and reflection. We’ve had a heavenly couple of days. Jim is working on a jigsaw puzzle right now (give 2 Scorpios a jigsaw puzzle and back up), we’re about to take Willie and Sushi to their annual physical. Then a little work and some snow shoeing.

    Movie suggestion: The King’s Speech. Best movie I’ve seen all year? Could be. At least, this week anyway.

    Three o’clock in the morning and my dog needed to go outside. After the immediate need was met, she wondered aimlessly around the yard. As she moved into range of the porch light, I saw that she was catching snowflakes on her tongue. I caught a few myself before we came inside. Peace to all from Katy and me.
