AWKWARD VISIT WITH SANTA PHOTO OF THE DAY 

TWEET TREATS
bringing you the quirky, funniest and most interesting tweets from Twitter that we came across.  
Abe Lincoln had to walk 47 blocks to access wifi every single day of his boyhood. And it took thirty minutes for Wikipedia to load. @UncleDynamite

DID YOU KNOW...?
A baby porcupine is referred to as a “porcupette.”


DOG CONFESSIONS

GARDEN UPDATE
Worked on the replacement beam for the front patio. Today I am taking my time and painted one side of the 20ft beam, priming and sealing. Tomorrow the other side and then a blue coat. I also scraped the other beams and bench supports to prime them for paint. Most of these wooden supports were from the original house and may be decades old.
