We have such fun together. They make me look forward to going to work every day!

Holiday Season 2016 - Fulton's Harvest

Silver Hour with Dale tonight and pre-dinner we listened to Dianne Reeve's Christmas album which is just lovely.  I drank Fulton's Harvest Pumpkin Pie Cream Liquor which always goes down smoothly. According to the Fulton's Harvest web-site, the liqueur is "made with and enticing blend of pumpkin, brown sugar and nutmeg."

Holiday Season 2016 - Christmas Cookies

My colleague Kelly was kind enough to make and put together an assortment of Christmas cookies for me. 

On the box she wrote "Happy Holidays Joe! Love working with you! Kelly." So nice 'cause I love working with her too. 

I never make Christmas cookies for myself and Dale mostly to keep from eating them all. It's nice to get a variety. 

Holiday Season 2016 - Little Bear

This little bear is one of my oldest possessions although this is the first time I've set him out specifically for Christmas. I find him to be quite sweet. I asked Mom how old I was when she gave him to me and she said I was about 4 years old.

Holiday Season 2016 - 3rd Sunday of Advent

Sang the Winter Name of God by Michael Joncas at church with Cindi. It went very well if I do say so myself. 

Holiday Season 2016 - A Holiday Gathering

Julie and Regina had us over for a holiday gathering tonight. It also served as a celebration of their 8th anniversary. Christmas carols were sung.

Holiday Season 2016 - St. Nicholas Day

St. Nicholas Day 2016

No ornaments in my shoe anymore but I still have many fond memories of receiving them on this day for so many years.
