The camel is back. And this time he brought a friend, the donkey. I love donkeys- so cute. They must be starring in a Christmas outdoor play back there or something. That’s the only reason I can come up with that a camel, a sheep, some goats, and a donkey are taking up residence behind…

We like it cold. We keep the heat on 60 and we’d go lower if we weren’t worried about the pugs getting cold. We love snuggling up with tons of blankets but still being able to breathe cold air. I can’t stand artificial heat. All that fake fire air blowing at you. I’ll take a…

I’m just now getting around to changing over my blog to winter ish colors and I’ve yet to put out any Christmas decorations. BUT- Jon’s birthday is next week and I’m all set with his present. And I only have 2 Christmas presents to get. I plan on working on my Christmas cards this week.…
