one more time
This is the photo I had wanted to use as my header. It'll only be up for a little while, since .... after all, Christmas is over. It wasn't taken by me, I am borrowing it from my little brother.
He took it a couple of years ago at the Christmas Market in Comar, France.
And it was number one at one of the download sites, I'll have to ask him again where.
Other than that --- not much going on.

Oranges
I love oranges. Especially in the winter an orange is part of my day.
I get oranges from an uncle of my husband. He and his wife are kind enough to send a package of them for Christmas, and usually they are terrific. And I look forward to the winter oranges all year.
I got my package this year a couple of days before Christmas - blood oranges. A combination of navel and blood oranges, really.
I don't know what the orange growers who come up with new kinds of oranges are thinking. These really were bad. Dry near the stem, the membranes were tough, and not very juicy. The taste? Not all that great either.
I ate them, and then needed a new supply. I bought a gorgeous looking package of what I thought were navel oranges, and they turned out to be the same stupid combination of navel and blood oranges again. This time from California. Terrible! And they weren't old, either, the skin sent out plenty of good-smelling oil, really nice and fresh. On the inside the disappointing tough mess again.
I'm hoping someone in the orange business googles blood-oranges, or navel oranges and gets the idea.
Stop messing with success, or at least don't try to pawn off your failures to the consumer!

The old and the new
On the 30th was Nicole's birthday. Jackson helped blow out the candles.
She got a birthday present from her sister on New-Year's Eve
the movie 'Night of the Comet'
Does anyone remember that?
In the early 80's
They watched it over and over, and
Erika finally found it on DVD
New Year's Eve party and Noah is snitching a piece from the gingerbread house.
Let's get the party started with a balloon flight!
Happy New Year!

Jackson
Jackson lost two animals in his life. Billy, the dog, who was, we think 13 years old, and Jessie, the cat, who had kidney disease. Both animals were taken to the vet and didn't come home.
Evan has a cold. Nicole told Jackson she was taking Evan to the doctor.
Jackson's reaction: 'Is he gonna come home?'
