You obviously hail from cooler climes?

...and have also had enough experiences living in the hotter climes to know that I despise it.

It's genetic, too. My father, who grew up in a warmer climate, hated to be hot and loved the NY winters.

No vacations to Australia in summer then lol

If it's near the ocean (and its associated breezes) and the hotel is air conditioned, I can tolerate dry heat for a short period of time. But really, I could happily live the rest of my life without ever experiencing temps over 25-27C.

DW started decorating yesterday, because of company plans and travel. She got the first tree up, and some of the other decorations up. I hate decorating, so I cleaned house for her, and hauled the containers in and out. This morning early, somehow the Santa hats under the tree, managed to keep walking to different parts of the house. Later today an artificial poinsettia still packed in the plastic storage container, managed to jump out and run to the dining room, where it exploded into tiny pieces everywhere......... Me thinks a certain fur kid, is already on the naughty list.

Sadie is decorating for you!

Finally left the house today. This cold has got me down. A zoo at the grocery store today. I did get some of my Thanksgiving groceries the other day with the snow storm apocalypse people.

@CherylL sorry about the cold, hope you're on the mend quickly. We were supposed to be up your way last week, but seemed like everything conspired against us. Might be a good thing, as I wasn't looking forward to the cold. As to Sadie decorating, her idea of decorating leaves a lot to be desired.

Thanks. I was thinking that just last week I was sitting on a beach drinking mojitos! Now the cold and snow and holiday to-dos. I'll take sunny warm weather all year long. I'm not building a Christmas grand kids set this year, but I did pick up something at a vintage store that has given me inspiration. The owner is on the look out for another item. Don't want to give it away or jinx myself.

No set for me this year either. I kinda feel bad, because I haven't really had any inspiration on a theme. Nothing has "jumped" out at me. I've got a couple of ideas for studio (more conventional type), and a couple of locations picked out. Some friends of ours own a wedding venue in an old barn. She's one of those rare individuals who can take all variety of junk and make it look like it belongs there. I'm anxious to see if she's done any decorating for Christmas yet.

If you need an idea, I saw a great one yesterday. If you can find an OLD step side pickup. Let the tailgate down, and put a red&green plaid blanket down. Stand a sled up in the front add a wreath and some greenery on the back of the cab. Plop the kids, doggies, etc on the blanket and shoot away.

If I ever win PCH (yeah right) I'm going to move to a place where it's nice most of the year. Not too hot, not too cold.

But since that ain't gonna happen I'll stay right here in Texas!

Morning all, a bit nippy out with sun forecast to come out. Had a great time at last nights jazz gig, crazy lighting so will be happy if I get a few keepers.

Morning y'all. No sun at this time.
Fried eggs and bacon coming soon.

Did you hack into my computer??? I shot a miniature scene similar to this with the pups last month. It is for the Christmas card and I wanted to have it ready for Mpix black friday sale. At least they had one last year after I ordered early.

Our friends play Santa & Mrs. Claus. They are arriving at SIL's family's party. I'll try to take photos and video. I don't know how the lighting will be and too many people in a house. So maybe bounce flash?

No, but that's a strange coincidence. We were at Hobby Lobby picking up a couple things for props, for Sadie pictures, and there was a young woman in line in front of us doing the same thing. We started talking and she shared a picture of what she was doing with her husbands truck.
