We had a big storm right before Christmas

Some Christmas shots

Here's the fireplace, still not finished, of course!
We're waiting for February when we've heard the air pollution district is giving rebates for new gas inserts before we spend MORE money...

LARRY wanted to wait to get a tree...so two weekends before Christmas we headed out and wouldn't you know it...not a single tree lot was left, all cleared out. So I had to go to Albertsons and bought this little Norfolk potted pine tree. It's kind of pathetic, but it's what I had to work with!I bought another painting. This is a bad picture of it, it's bunch of deep red roses with one purple one. I like it and think it adds color to the mostly earth tone kitchen.

These aren't from the kitchen, clearly! Just a fun night at Bill Lees! Here's Don, giving me that, "don't you dare take my picture and put it on your blog" look. Where's the trust?

And who should walk in? But the Lie-n-Den folks!

Here comes the judge

A good friend of Larry's was sworn in as a judge the other day. Very weird thinking of this guy Larry clowns around with being a JUDGE!

The fellow swearing Steve in is John Brownlee, another old friend of Larry's who also recently became a judge. Double weird!

Xmas party in our new kitchen

It was a fun party, lots of different people...some from work, some from Larry's world, some from my world.

I caught Al leaving with Barb's purse...at least he SAID it was her purse!
