Christmas - The Start

This Christmas, we're keeping gifts practical. Mostly useful household items. Things like doors and windows.

Really. While our financial reserves were slammed by the stock market plunge, and our cash flow is pinched since Bernie's division at HP was shut in September, this remodel is something we both have eagerly anticipated for years. Laura joked that we should get some ribbons on close out, then stick 'em on the features each of us, uh, demanded, clearly marking them as 'gifts'.

So this morning, we headed over with all three dogs. After a yummy picnic breakfast on our gi-normous kitchen island, they had a frolic in their tack room and their soon-to-be run in the side yard. That took enough out of them, that we were able to grab a quick snap of the pack:

And then another spark hit. We could extend Christmas to the full 12 days. And, we could share these gifts via this blog, spreading our joy even further.

Ready to see what the First Day of Christmas brings?
