There is something different about winter light, the intensity is off but the directionality is there. Also, when it’s in the mid-50s during the holidays, that plays with your mind and eye, too.
Decomposing
Chasing a dog in, I noticed a set of candles that had been left out over the summer … they are probably done.
Breakfast
I’m a pretty simple guy when it comes to breakfast – a little juice, a little cereal, some coffee to go. But around the holidays, when there’s leftover Christmas Cake, all bets are off.
$0 Down
Replaced the Mrs. phone, some of the other options were interesting. Or just unavailable.
Gifted
Even the dogs get a little something on Christmas morning. Of course, who is giving these gifts is a bit of a mystery at times …
Baking
I am not a baker, the Mrs. is the expert in that field. Giver her some flour and a few other ingredients and the kitchen will smell amazing in a few hours time.
But once a year, I pull the Crisco out of the cabinets and fire up the Kitchen Aid – since I was a little kid, we have always had my Grandma Johnson’s Christmas Cake. After she passed, we found the recipe and now my siblings and I all make it at this time of the year.
Broke Down
After 20 years of service, our Kirby had a part failure this week.
