PARTY TIME !!

Party at S1’s house.

His betta-half had the Family over to Celebrate.

Seems he got his Masters of Engineering from

The University of Idaho.

Way to go S1, you make us proud parents !

BUMMER

S1 and better-half lost their baby at 11 wks.  Guess we'll have to wait a little longer to be Grands.

Her sister went through the same thing and now has two toddlers, hopefully they will be just as lucky.

On another note it's been freezing rain all day, so holed up to do some end of year paperwork.

COLDER THAN A WITCH'S TIT !

Yeah, that what it's been in these parts since 2013 reared its head.


It's a favorite winter saying where I grew up.

Second most used "It's Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass
monkey"

It's been below zero for the last four days and last year it was record warm 50*.


And this guy makes it look so fun !

It wouldn't be so miserable if they hadn't said we need to shut down our wood stove for the inversion.

Any whooo this year is already better than last when this happened.

Snuggling up to somebody woolly and warm, till the tulips pop.

CHRISTMAS SUPRISE

S1 and his better half put this under our tree.

This  will be or first Grand child.

Hey we're in our 60's now, bout time things like this were happening !

FAR RIGHT TAKE NOTICE !

Just came across this link on Twitter.

This is what needs to happen, but then again I doubt if it will as the way the Far Right thinks is just what  makes them Sooo Special in their own minds.    

LONG OVERDUE

Well it’s been a while, guess I’ll start with a month ago.

The Mrs. And I flew back East to visit some kin.

We flew into upstate NY to see my 93 year young Aunt. She is the last blood kin I have left from my Parents generation.

She is doin great. Made us grilled cheese and soup for lunch both days we were there.
Cooked a big supper one day and took us out the other night. She even had us go along to her Thursday morning Breakfast Club at the local greasy spoon.

I had never been there before. I think it was 1957 when they moved to this house.

Then we drove a rental car to the southern point of Maine. The Mrs has a sister, niece, and families there. They all live in the country in the Trees. I had never seen so many Trees, from upstate NY we drove due East for 400 miles and it was Trees the whole way. We were just a little early to see the leaves as they were just barely starting to turn.

I’d never been to the Atlantic Ocean , my first time WOO HOO !

We rode Amtrak to Boston one day and took a Tour Bus excursion. I'm not a history, or big city person.

Had a seafood feast put on by the In-laws

Shrimp on the Barbe, Steamers, Corn on the cobb, and Lobtsa. The shrimp was my favorite.

Anyway back home safe and sound.

SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS YEARS AGO !

ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES

Oh yeah that was a Movie that S1 loved as a youngin.

It's hitting home this year.

The Mrs is overwhelmed with everything coming out of the Gardens this year!




We netted the grapes as last year the birds got every concord the minute it started to change colors.
They never touched the green grapes, Birds must not see the color Green as being food.

Anyway the first batch of juice came out so SWEET and without adding any sugar, WE're not sharing with anyone !
