DAY AFTER DOWN TIME

 Hello! I hope you've recupperated from all the merriment yesterday. We had a lovely day, though we were really missing Don. It hit me hard when I onlly set out 3 places for dinner. 

We woke to some fog this morning. I was a little late getting a picture so it's pretty light. But I love the look of fog in our woods. 


My daughter gave her brother the new Jaws Lego kit for Christmas. He spent all day putting it together. He said it was the best time he's ever had on Christmas day! 



The house is a wreck. Hopefully I'll get it back to good today. I'm really looking forward to the new year. Not much good came our of 2025. 

Do you have big plans for New Years Eve? Any parties to attend? I hope this week brings you rest and peace. Thanks for stopping by.

  9. Fog does make for interesting pictures. I have no plans for New Years Eve apart from trying to stay up to midnight. I could use a Lego set-I'm trying hard not to buy one of the Lego botanical kits.

  10. Our granddaughter loves Legos too. Your trees in the fog shot is truly beautiful! It looks like a Fairy Wood.

    1. That forest used to be so much prettier. About 15 years ago they came through and took down every tree, some of the 100 years old. It was an old forest with huge trees. Hope you have a happy new year, Ginny.

  13. Hello, Leslie
    The Lego gift look like a hit! I love the forest fog scene.
    We celebrated at son's house on Christmas Eve, so our Christmas day was a quiet one. I wish you all the best in 2026, a Happy and Healthy New Year!
    Take care, enjoy this last weekend of 2025.

  14. My son use to love Legos. We had horrible freezing rain yesterday and it even thundered during it for a bit. Crazy hearing it amid the freezing rain. Snow overnight. Just wish we would have had the snow for Christmas. Oh well. New Years Eve will be spent at home with lobster tails we got on sale at our meat market and a few appetizers. Looking forward to it.

    1. Lego's are still enjoyed, my son is 39! Said it was the best Christmas he's ever had, lol. Thanks for dropping by. Have a great New years.

  16. Holidays really are hard when you’re missing those that you love. Those first holidays after a loss can be brutal. My mother did Christmas brunch for my entire life. That first Christmas without her brunch was excruciating. I hope you had a lovely holiday and wish you the best for the new year.

  17. My daughter's best friend loves these Lego sets and you know I didn't even know that Lego sets like this existed until I went looking for some.

    1. It's now girls that like Legos! Back in the day they only had sets for boys.

  18. I have never attempted one of these new Lego sets, but I can understand that they can be a challenge. When my daughter was little we played with Lego for hours, but we didn’t have these kits that are so popular today. All the very best for 2026, Leslie. I hope that the year is filled with great joy and good health.
