decorating the town red

I was in the town where Mom and Dad live and noticed these holiday decorations. It’s almost time to hang some hearts on them and call them Valentine decorations.

doll

This doll was Aunt E.’s. It has a chest of clothes that go with it. I’m not sure how old it is.

dinner plans

Youngest DD spent some time with her cousin this weekend. I picked up DD tonight and snapped this photo.

Callie

This is Callie, Mom and Dad’s cat.

Dobby

This is Dobby, our 3 year old cockatiel.
He likes to whistle “Pop Goes the Weasel,” but has not learned any other songs at this point.
