Not-so-wordless Wednesday

Hello All! I am back from my holiday break...I can't remember if I told y'all if we were headed up north for the holidays or not. I didn't really intend to go silent while we were away, but it happened. I tried my best to keep up with you via my phone, but it was not easy. I was rarely on a computer while we were gone, which was great! I think my eyes enjoyed the break...

I've been trying to come up with a good post for the new year and am having some trouble getting my thoughts together, so for now, you get some pictures.

 This was taken at one of my favorite restaurants...The Flatbread Company...SO yummy! I had not yet been to this location and we were scouting it out for a family dinner. It's located inside of a bowling alley...so it was really loud! Decided against going back there for our family dinner, but we had a great time catching up with a good friend. Trying to fit in all of our visits with friends while we are home in MA is never easy. I am so glad we managed to find time to meet this friend...she lost her husband to cancer in Sept. 2010 and it's the first time I've seen her in person since then.

 The morning after the snow...this is looking down the street where J's mom lives.

Garnett and his kong. :) 

The puppies were absolutely wiped out yesterday. They spent their break at the ranch and they were exhausted when they came home. They spent almost all day sleeping on the couch. I am happy to report that G did not have any seizures while we were gone! They did keep us up late enough on NYE to see the ball drop...our neighbors were lighting off fireworks and neither of the puppies enjoyed that! So glad we had some Val.ium in the house for them...it really helped.

Wishing everyone a prosperous and peaceful New Year!
