Turning a Corner

 

The light will be coming back. 

Yay!

I always love this day of the year because we have once more paid our dues of living in increasing darkness, and from this day forth for several months, the light will increase. 

So, there's joy in that fact alone. 

Around here, we had some joy last night, gathering at Second Avenue Pizza to eat and to have some family time. 

Annie flew in from Seattle.  Bill went to the Spokane Airport to pick her up. They did some shopping. Willie and Debbie got some rest from their busy week, and I did some housework and raked up some of the wind-storm residue in the yard. 

As always, food tasted good at Second Avenue, and we had a nice time sharing news. 

How about a little pizza on your sausage!

Talk about a generous topping! 

That's how it is at Second Avenue. You don't go away hungry. 

The kids had pizza.  Bill had a calzone and I enjoyed my ultimate bacon sandwich. 

It was fun to add a festive touch to the potato sack hanging in the garage. 

I purchased that sack for a couple of dollars several years ago at a Festival Wine and cheese tasting fundraiser.  

This fall I saw a framed version that sold for more than $300 at another fundraiser. 

I think I made a good investment. It greets everyone who comes through the back door. 

Below:  one other project----once I found the scissors, which were hiding in the Christmas card pile---was to give Foster a spruce-up.  

He happily stood on the dryer as I snipped away at his long hair. 

He now looks pretty dapper. 

Foster is mostly back to his normal self, but the head tilt is still a factor. 

I've read that it takes time and sometimes doesn't go away completely. 

For now, Foster is thrilled because his "person" is here for a few days. 

The ZAGS play Oregon at 3 p.m. today.  

Good luck watching it. 

Bill says the game available on Peacock, which requires a subscription.  

The game is being broadcast at the same time that Ed Robinson and his fellow musicians will be performing Irish music at Pour Authority. 

They'll be there from 3-6 p.m., and we may just choose to go there rather than paying to watch the game. 

Whatever the case, we'll be keeping track and hoping the ZAGS take another win. 

GO, ZAGS!

And, Happy Sunday.
