Sold the Motorcycle yesterday

DH sold his much loved Motorcycle yesterday. It needed to be done though.

Got the detailed Bill of Sale signed & DMV paper. Now we just have to wait until the Bank processes the paper work to send the Title to Oregon DVM, who it will turn will send it to us and only then do we get to sign it to pass it along to the new owners. Will take about 4 to 8 weeks.

Oregon sure doesn't make it easy to sell things and get the Title transfered quickly.

Accepted into a New Gallery

I have been accepted into a more private Online Gallery and see this as another step up. Will take me a couple of weeks to get the pieces I plan on putting in this Gallery up. But if you want to take a look now, just click on the link above.

Home Made Bread

Have been experimenting with a different no salt added bread recipe and I think this batch is the best one yet! Isn't it pretty and the taste and wonderful smell... .. yum !

And not to be out done.. DH made a very nice Lemon Bunt cake for the Holidays, that was very, very good too.

Frosty Morning Pictures and a Hello to Grammy

First off I want to apologize to Grammy for not sending her the Monthly letter. Things have been so slow lately and not much as been going on, so I have been at a loss as what to write. But I am always thinking of you Grammy and want to let you know how much I care and love you. Hugs and Kisses.

We plan on hand walking some holiday card to the neighbors as soon as I get this blog done. No snow this year and I am not minding that at all!

Took some pictures of the frost we had this morning. Thought this was a neat contrast between my Icelandic Mare Stjarna's mane with the frost on it and the old tree.

Maggie is frosty too.

This photo of Edda was taken a few weeks ago in far weather.

Spiky frost on the gate latch.

Fir cones with frost.

If you have Cats you can't.........

If you have cats,,, you can't be depressed..This morning Sadie and Mia were fussing at the end of my bed, while I was trying to work on the coding for the blog. Told them to quit but in usual cat style, they ignored me. So I tapped Mia with my foot gently, she just gave me one of "those" looks...and for some reason... Sadie launched herself straight up, over and off the side of the bed. Did not even touch the silly cat. I felt bad.. but that was really impressive and I couldn't stop laughing!! And the look she gave me afterwords.... LOL
Sadie is our Orange cat.

Happy Holidays !

Wishing Everyone a Wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year!!
