'Twas the Night After Christmas

Red Barn North of Colfax, WI

I was going to write a post about New Year's resolutions, but having just returned home from a Christmas party with friends and another get-together with family coming up next week, I realized that I'm in no mood to be making commitments to a sugar-free, wheat-free, dairy-free life - at least not at this moment.

Instead, I'll watch Perry Mason on the television and go to bed. Maybe by the end of next week I will be able to think about resolutions.


Leaving you this week with a collage of photos. Some were sent to me by family members; some I took. All remind me of Christmas in Wisconsin and family.  Mr. C. doesn't know I took a photo of him and the dog taking a nap together. I couldn't resist it.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.

    Looks like a joyous occasion for all.
    The nap picture reminds me of our cat Smokey sleeping in bed with us. He weighs around 22# and on cold nights I love to have him sleep near my shoulders for warmth, other times he's at our feet.

    Happy New Year xoxo

    Great pictures. Did you have a white Christmas? Ours was brown but finally got snow last night and the sun is shining today. It's been gloomy for weeks.

    The nap picture is so sweet! The girls playing on the floor in their P.J.s is so precious! And I love your snowman and beautiful snowy picture. To me, Christmas is a time of joy, not restrictions. You can think about dieting later.

    Very sweet post, Judy...you sound a bit tired (aren't we all?).

    No resolutions right now, we clearly aren't seeing the future very well as we try to clean up the remnants of yesterday (and the day before, etc.!)

    Love to you!

    Hi Judy,
    Just had a nice visit with murker. Fed him up, loved him up.
    I'm not ready for thinking of resolutions yet. But I have been given a Watchword: movement. Really? Yoga and moving back to the Jersey Shore maybe? Hummm...
    Blessings dear Judy and Merry Third Day of Christmas! :) m & jb
