Potluck Dinner

 The nibbles are ready.

 The table is set.

 Jon made a delicious apple pie, I made the lasagna, Anna made a big green salad.

We had a good meal and a lovely time.

Yep.

Sixth Graders are studying the wild animals of New York

They're showing us their journal pages about bobcats.

A new friend

This is Mura, a Central Asian Shepherd, who belongs to my friends Liza and Ken. Mura is eight weeks old, and very friendly, I met him yesterday and we liked each other very much!

There is a new knitter in the universe!

 Anna came over this evening, and decided she wanted to learn to knit. She started on  a scarf.

She's a fast learner!!

Cranberry orange muffins fresh from the oven!

Thought for the day

Happy new year!

We have five people from four different countries this evening. We played Pictionary and scattergories, and they left by 10:30. We decided we're all old. Good night, 2016.
