A Day (And Night) Out

A Day (And Night) Out

As we get older and really don’t need anything, it becomes harder to find and give meaningful Christmas gifts, gifts that aren’t simply a placeholder beneath the tree.  This year we all made lists.  Because this is a family of avid readers, most of the lists included several books.  We are also a family of foodies so many of those books were cookbooks; along those lines, there were also a few kitchen sundries on various lists.  Though Weber did ask…

“The Greatest Gift” After sleeping in this morning, I spent some time this afternoon playing with my new Christmas toy, a Lensbaby lens.  This is a mirrorless special effects lens system that has a very small “sweet spot” of focus that is achieved manually.  My vision makes it a little challenging, but I am having fun trying to conquer the learning curve.

It is hilarious to me that the day’s prompt is St. Nick.  Erin despises Santa Claus, always has.  We have zero pictures of her on Santa’s lap.  And, we have zero ornaments or decorations depicting Santa.  Erin has always said that she believes Santa to be kind of creepy. Erin made her way into adulthood today…

‘A Different Perspective On Light” We have officially made it to Christmas break!  If I had an extra week I might be ready to face Christmas.  As things stand right now, I’m not.  Most of the “stuff” that needs to be done is done.  I have even wrapped most of what needs to be wrapped.  My issue this year seems to be a mental thing.  My head just can’t wrap itself around the fact that Christmas is five days away….
