Winter Weekend

We had a great dinner Friday with Scott, a friend from Holy Covenant, at the fancy-ish but reasonably priced Bijan's Bistro. I had never heard of either tagine or tartine, but we tried both and loved them.

Goose and Scott outside:


Afterward, we walked to Joe (a Blind Faith friend) and Lilian's for a small holiday gathering. Even though we had just eaten, we had to sample the goodies.

Today, we slept in late, then spent the afternoon cleaning and organizing while the snow fell and fell outside.

Now presenting....toasty holes!

We finally found our box of Christmas decorations and--yay--my santa cap.


Our lovely sandstone nativity scene:


We also caught up on our Advent calendar readings.


One of the windows in our entryway:


Footprints in the fresh snow outside the front door:


We finally ventured more than a few steps outside this evening. We decided it was finally time to buy a shovel, so we walked the three blocks to the hardware store. On the way back, we stopped at El Guero ("The White Guy"), our local grocery, for some edible supplies.

The light outside was really neat.
