Snow gallery – more later probably!

Jake loves the snow. I’d really love to see what he’d do in a foot of snow, but that ain’t happening here. It’s still falling, and sticking pretty good, but if we get a whole inch of actual snow, I’d be surprised.

EDIT: Yeah, it’s more rain than snow right now, and what snow there is is slushifying. Yes, that is a word. I swear it is. Anyway, the icicles are melting off the roof. But, my outdoor temp gauge says 31, and it’s still gonna be in the freezing zone. It’s gonna be really slick out there.

More pictures…


Photo Post – Cookies, etc

Well, consistency eludes me so far. Again. Oh well. :)

It appears that Gallery is still working for me. Hopefully, that will continue. I have no idea why it broke before. I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the database, but other than that I haven't the foggiest. Anyhow, I'm working on getting my albums back up properly. Here's a few recent samples:


I made myself a quite serviceable BPAL box! I cut some styrofoam to fit tightly in a former chocolate box:

Today, I had the urge to make cookies. They turned out fabulous! Not to toot my own horn too much, but I make very good chocolate chip cookies. These, however, were probably the best I ever made. Who knew using real butter instead of margarine would make such a difference?

For Christmas, I made my Vinegar Devil's Food cake.

I got just a little carried away with the sprinkles.

Dinner was quite yummy.

Oh gee. It's raining again. It's gonna freeze overnight, I know it. :/


New Year

Here it is, 9 pm and I’m close to bending one of my so-called New Years Resolutions, or “Yeah, Rights” as I call them.

Let’s see:

I’ve got a couple more personal ones as well. New day, new month, new year – let’s see how they’ll turn out.

2006 was a pretty good year for us, overall. It was fairly uneventful, which, after the past couple of years was much appreciated. Here’s hoping 2007 goes as smoothly.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I never did figure out why Gallery broke on my website, not that I actually tried very hard. I just ended up uninstalling and reinstalling it. Hopefully, this time it will behave itself.

That’s all I’ve got right now. I’m too distracted by sqlrob watching Pinky & The Brain. Narf!!

I’ll leave you with one of the first pictures I’ve taken this year!
