Just Odds and Ends

I haven't posted here for a while.  Maybe I just haven't had anything to think about.  That wouldn't be so unusual.


We are having such wonderful January weather with gorgeous sunshine and mild temperatures.  It is so nice to be able to get outside and enjoy it.  I know we are in for some nasty weather at sometime or other this winter but I'm in no hurry to see it.


Yesterday Harley and I took a nice long walk.  His first time in his harness.  His mommy had trouble getting it adjusted properly so he got out of it twice before we left the driveway!  But we finally got it right and off we went.  We both need long walks because we are both waddling!  "Nuff said!


I am such a lucky person.  We had a wonderful holiday season with the family.  I don't know where I got a couple of my kids but they are very entertaining I must say!  And the grandkids are getting so grown up.  There are several teenagers now and they are wonderful kids.  The little ones are wonderful too.  You never know what to expect from them!  And I got all my pictures of the families in front of the fireplace.  A requirement, I told them, for updating the family picture wall.  And everyone but my granddaughter in law who was working at a nursing home, and my grandson were here.  It's pretty great to get 30 people in the same family together at once.


And the best present of all is going to be a trip to Europe with my sister.  Since my nephew lives in Switzerland he is going to be our tour guide.  I know he will have an interesting itinerary planned for us and will show us a really great time.  Paris for five days!!!


And another best present is special friends.
