If you were listening to our last week of 2018, you heard about the listener who made me a decoration out of a bottle of Tahoe Blue Vodka…this is it!
On most days, we have dozens of hummingbirds enjoying our three different feeders
We had three major storms during the holiday with high winds and had to occasionally take down the feeders so they didn’t blow through our family room windows…but the birds still came!
Not wanting to be a victim of an Alfred Hitchcock movie (Google it), I found a corner to safely snuggle one of the feeders and keep the little boogers fed during the storms
My wife Christina and I barely left the house for 2 weeks, but we were “lucky” enough to see my mom a couple times, including this visit when she was teaching Christina how to knit. Yes, I am married to a 27 year old who wants to knit.
Christina needed a follow-up lesson later in the vacation at my mom’s house and you can see how appreciative she is
Of course, maybe Christina should have paid closer attention since she “dropped a stitch,” whatever the hell that means
Christmas morning arrived and we could finally open the very few Christmas presents we had purchased
Yes, all of those are for us. Don’t be a Scrooge
Of course, all of the dogs got gifts as well, including Scout the black lab who got a squeaky plush duck toy (because he’s a retriever…get it?)
And before Christmas Day was over, the duck had been killed. Goooodd booyyy!
Maestro, meanwhile, was very excited to open his presents…unfortunately, this wasn’t one of his pictures
Eventually Maestro got to open his incredibly annoying, indestructible minion-sounding ball
Eventually, my wife and I put on our annual silly Christmas PJ one-sies and dug in to the gifts
When we were all done, Maestro and Scout were “thrilled” to pose with some of the gifts
These new oversized psychedelic beach towels of a lab and German shepherd were the dogs’ gift to Christina
Another dog-themed gift were these three new personalized place mats for them to each eat off of
As for the humans, we spoiled the crap out of each other including my wife adding to my ongoing collection of animation cels. Anything related to rabbit season/duck season always makes me smile
As for my wife, she’s been dying for me to get our downstairs bonus room turned into her yoga room, so the first step was to get some calming artwork for the walls
I don’t know what this thing is called, but apparently if you’re engaging in the mumbo and the jumbo, it relaxes you
The most mumbo and jumbo of them all, though, are these crystal “Singing bowls,” which make “soothing” sounds while meditating. Whatever.
I have been so excited about getting a home smoker to infuse flavor into various whiskeys…and voila! It has arrived
I was also super-spoiled with lots of new clothes and such
I know what you’re thinking “why does Rob NEED clothes?” I don’t…but c’mon…these shoes!
There were also a few “us,” gifts like…yes…a Segway…for our house. Christina has been riding this thing around for weeks. It’s hard living in such a big home. This makes life easier.
But this…THIS, as it turns out, was THE gift of the year. We are both nursing “Nintendo thumbs,” after weeks of Super Mario together
For Christmas dinner, mom came by and Scout photo-bombed us
A perfect meal of Prime Rib, lobster, potatoes, beans and amazing wine was enjoyed
At this point, however, I was done with the pictures
The evening ended with a disastrous attempt at a “family photo,” with my mom and all of the pups
Good lord…Scout is literally running away from this picture! Damn lab…
In the end, this was the best we got. I think the look on my mother’s face is pain as she struggles to hold Scout in place. Happy Fricken Holidays
