Superbowl Sunday

I was asked in the café yesterday if we were having our annual Superbowl party.  I was almost unable to speak, the Vikings' loss still haunting me.  No, unfortunately, we didn't because, well, that would have profoundly affected my football trash talk with my son (who rooted for the Saints, the little traitor).  And, I would have had to clean my house. 

Okay, okay, I did clean my house.  And I cooked homemade pizza and nachos.  And we had a couple people over. 

Maybe we'll have a blowout...

It's January.


This is what my town looks like in January.  

 
Harbor2


Do you see the cold pallor?  The icy streets?   I am currently sitting under a blankie, with little half-gloves on to keep my fingers warm.  

I know, I know.  WHY do we live here?   

I think it's 'cause our house is here.  

Here is our pretty red door.  

  Red door


Inside, it's not so bad.  There's food.  

  New years dinner


And happy people.  

  New years dinner gang


And cookies.  

  Christmas cookies


We northerners try to hold onto something happy during the cold months.  

Like our little mountain ash tree in...
