Today is the shortest day of the year…grateful for it because the days will be getting longer and more light!

Met a lady at Costco who had four huge huge huge bags of dog food in her cart…we smiled at each other and I said “we have a miniature schnauzer”…I think she has St. Bernards!!

Garrett’s mention of the “southern accent” reminded me of the lovely accents of my family members who live in the south.  I love hearing all of our various “accents”…from “y’all” to my neighbor’s “pahk the cahr” (he’s from Maine).  Thanks for the memories, Garrett!

GPa’s abundant gifts of appreciation from his school bus children and their parents.

My precious granddaughter who left her teens and became 20 this week..she had some anxiety with it…imagine that :):)
