A few weeks before Christmas, Betsy told me that her watched had stopped working and when she took it to Wright’s to see if they could fix it they told her it was not worth it. So I decided to get a new one for her, which I did. Turned out the watch that had failed was not the fairly good one I had gotten for her several years ago but a cheaper day to day wear one she had gotten. So she still had the good watch, and she wanted a ring so it all worked out. She returned the watch and here is the ring she got:

And so here is the ring that Becky Douglass bought for Becca back in high school.

After more years than I care to count going out on New Year’s Eve the weather and holiday exhaustion won out this year and we are home alone. We had a few inches of snow this morning through early afternoon (which led to a spin out of a jeep with a subsequent crash into one of Art’s trees – no injuries luckily). I made Betsy Filet Mignon, ‘shrooms, onions and peppers, Asparguys wrapped in prosciutto, and baked potato. Some eggplant and Bulgarian feta (thanks Jus and Elif) bruschetta for openers. It was delicious.
Still learning how to take pictures with the Droid, and with the webcam attached to Hermes (for the roll call pic at the end)
