Broke Down

My laptop inexplicably died over the weekend. It had tens of thousands of pictures on it (someday I will get around to printing some of them) that had mostly been backed up. Tom was able to save me, but it involved completely recovering it, back to the original factory settings. Fortunately he was able to get all the pictures off before he did it (safe mode? I have no idea what that is). So I am back in business with pictures to share.

We had a nice Thanksgiving, Tom took a few days off so we had grand plans for something fun. Instead we shuffled around the house and mostly stayed in. We did get the Christmas boxes down from the attic and went to the Festival of Lights parade. And we'll will get a tree this weekend. Patrick is very excited. I am very nervous. I have a nice collection of Christopher Radko ornaments that I love. I had vivid visions of my lovely but fearless Molly crashing right into the tree and glass flying everywhere. I picture things like this often. Tom tells me it is not normal. I'm not so convinced.

A few pics from Thanksgiving and the parade...











And just for fun, a few outtakes of our Christmas card pictures.
