More from DC

I love DC.  And it’s really wonderful that Andrew and Jes live there now. 

Just a little ride on the Metro and you can be anywhere!

We did a whole lot more.  Like helping Andrew and Jes buy a new car, do a little Christmas shopping, walking through Dupont Circle, picking out their Christmas tree….

And we had more to do then I got sick and sleet was predicted for the day we were supposed to leave, so we left a day early.  And I feel much better, I know you were worried! 

Back in Florida! 

 

 

 

Meanderings on a Monday

by

Happy first day of December.  Also known as Cyber Monday.  Which just followed Black Friday and Small Business Saturday.  So many titles.  So little time…..

before Christmas!

Anyhow…..

We went to DC for Thanksgiving…

Had a great time….

caught a cold….Have not got a lot of energy or sarcasm at the moment, so I’m just putting up some pics…..

 

Cooking
We had a wee kitchen to work in.
turkey
But still made a great turkey. Used an infrared oil-less turkey fryer out on the patio!
family
Here we all are. Maggie is looking adorable on the couch.  And I have no idea why Andrew suddenly donned that apron.  Some kind of tradition, I guess…
turkey hangover
Too much turkey for Maggie?
Mattie the cattie
And here’s Mattie the Cattie! Lest you think we poisoned both the cat and the dog, there’s a roaring fireplace right behind Mattie that made both of the pets pass out!

More photos tomorrow of our adventures in DC!  If I can wake up long enough to pull the photos off of my camera and write something snarky.  Yeah, that’s the word for the week. Snarky.

Back at it tomorrow!
