Header Challenge - Some favorite photos


My header was Karma Kitty taken last January. 
Next is a duck by the creek.


Then a sign in the window of a store in Frederick.

 An old car seen in our travels and an iris in our yard.


 
Leaves to rake in the Fall

And last this is my favorite image of the year (and was my header January 7)!

Header Challenge - Far, far Away

Mother and daughter.

Once upon a time 500 miles was not far, far away. We made the drive in about 10 hours. At Thanksgiving we made the trip to see our new great-grand-daughter (and the rest of the family) in South Carolina. The mileage was the same, but the traffic and time was not - both the trip and return seemed far, far away.

 and electronics

 A puzzle to solve

All in all, a delightful visit with the SC family. But Kathy's theme reminded me of how far, far away our family has spread with kids and siblings in Virginia, West Virginia, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Colorado and California.

Header Challenge - Last week's skies


The past week brought us clouds, fog, a little rain, warmth, and some nice sunsets.

Header Challenge - Getting ready for Christmas


We have been getting ready for Christmas. Marianne has been busy with shopping (with a little help from her online connections).  I have been doing the outside decorations with a little help from the elf. Next we will decorate inside and get the presents in the mail to Colorado, New Jersey, South Carolina, Texas and West Virginia. I hope your Christmas preparations are going well!
