It was good that the ZAGS game last night turned out to be an easy win.
The lack of nail biting gave me time to turn up the TV volume in the living room and dive into my cookie plate project in the kitchen.
Just about the time of the final buzzer, I wrapped up the last cookie plate.
So, two birds with one stone: both with nice endings.
It was also a good ending to a day that started out with a bang . . . and a crash . . . and lots of other noises.
When the noise ended, we knew that we had a problem.
As noted in yesterday's post, it's not a big problem, but, big or small, a hole in the roof opened by a tree branch and distinct hole in the ceiling need fixing.
Happily, I've heard from our insurance adjuster Scott, who was pretty busy after yesterday's wind storm. He told us to call North Idaho Flood and Fire to fix the hole in the roof and probably later the full repair.
We left the mess intact until we heard from Scott last night, so this morning's outdoor walking slots have been filled with a lot of bending over and picking up branches that either fell to the ground or pierced the ground like spears.
I'll also sweep up the sheet rock residue on the floor just three or four feet away from the computer where I'm typing.
We always think of what coulda been in times like these and count our blessings.
So, we're moving on toward Christmas. I have a hair appointment today, and tomorrow I'll do the last of the house preparation for Annie's arrival on Saturday.
Still doing some shopping and writing Christmas cards but am getting there.
It would be okay to have a break in the wind and rain storms, and I'd probably even welcome a little white stuff on the ground for the holidays.
We'll see.
In the meantime, happy Thursday.
Enjoy the TBT's and do scroll "Auld Lang Syne" as you view the photos.
It feels like that kind of day.
💚💛💜💙
Last game before the holidays!

GO, BULLDOGS!!!

We love Malzards and its owner Fred in Stoneyford, Ireland. It's an Irish pub of the year, and it's a fun place to sit back, have a Guinness and celebrate being in Ireland.
The image above is their Christmas card for 2025.

Thursday Throwbacks: from my photo library. Fun memories, all.
I always love this photo of our North Boyer farm long ago on a winter day.
