Forks down and walk away!

I have been eating Christmas leftovers all week long.  Here, the last cinnamon roll falls.

The end...?

Well, there are only four posts left in my 365-day photo blog.  It has been a lot of fun, and a lot of work.  Since 2012 isn't a prime year, I can't keep up "A Prime Year in Pictures."  So, I will be launching a new blog on January 1, so please stay tuned for more information!  I would love for you to follow me over there.

A rose by any other name

A business associate of my husband's sent him a very nice gift of some wonderful olive oil, which is great, because I was running out!  What I really like is that it comes in a quart container!  Like...a quart of oil!  Ha ha ha!

Holiday haze

Today passed in a holiday haze of travel and shopping, leaving me with only two photos on my camera.  This was the best of the two.  It looks like I feel - a bit fuzzy around the edges (okay, and everywhere else!) and slightly unfocused.  Tomorrow should be an interesting day at work!

Merry Christmas!

It is Christmas, so you will have to forgive me a little Photoshopping.  I had to give today's pictures some holiday glow!

Merry Christmas Eve!

We enjoyed another wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at my mother's house tonight.  It is our tradition to have a big candle-lit meal together, open a present, and then roll ourselves off to bed.  We forgot to light our most treasured set of candles - a set of wooden reindeer pulling a sleigh, which are running down the dark spot in the middle of the table.  But it is probably good that they got the year off, because one of them is still recovering from having most of his antlers burned off in a "flaming reindeer" mishap a few years back. Do you smell something burning?  Oh no, Rudolph!
