Yeah, yeah. I just realized it -- I haven't posted since November! Bad, bad blogger! All I can say is that I must have been pretty busy if I wasn't even aware of how long it had been. Last time I posted, we had snow, and since then we have gone back up to 80(F) and down again to the mid-50s. Crazy Texas weather.
In any case, I think we are just about ready for the Holiday Family Mayhem of the next couple of days. The tree is up and decorated, the gifts are wrapped, booze has been bought, etc, etc. We may or may not make cookies later today, depending on how motivated I feel.
The one thing I do love about this time of year is that I always get the week between christmas and new-years off work . . . we shut the lab down for the week, and it is pure bliss! I'm hoping to get a lot of knitting and spinning in, and maybe do a bit of redecorating here on the ol' blog . . . who knows!
And with that, I'll leave you with a snap I took a while back on the way to NanC's house -- every time I see this sign, it makes me giggle.

it really is one business with both functions, as far as I can tell!
