Grandma and one of her puppies
Grandma came down and had Christmas lunch/dinner with us and watched a few Christmas shows. Mark made a beef roast with rice and potatoes and sides and cinnamon stewed pears that I made in the toaster oven. Mark and Esme gave Grandma a huge bag of fudge that they had made three flavors of.
Esme sitting down near the goat's feed dish trying to tell the puppies they don't have to bark at the goat.
The white one (Patches) wanted to eat her hair. The black one (Tippy) still wanted to bark at the goat.
Merry Christmas 2024
and 12 years ago
So now dark has fallen, I've fed the rest of the animals and it is really still too early to go to bed. I have the laundry done, and did cleaning yesterday (yay), and I don't want to get quite into that book (but I had time to think about it, bonus!)... so I put a pot of pea soup (snert) on the stove and made a coffee pot full of very strong chai tea which was the last of the chai mix I had made last year. Mark got me a weighted blanket for Christmas - so it is tempting to go try to take a nap under it... or to sit and play a game for two hours... but as I was laying down for a minute I thought you know what would be really good right now? Some very savory spicy soup that does NOT come in a can that way. So, soup it is. And I went ahead and did some extra language lessons - bite-sized ones. I've done Japanese and French today.
