big william's world

'Fraid we had another foot or two for my birthday.

I am so relieved that I can now say I lived longer than my dad did that I don't mind the weather.

We had planned to go to Flagstaff House for dinner but, like a lot of the rest of Boulder it was closed because nobody could get up the hill to it.

This time the snow was very sticky so, as you can see, a lot of it was able to pile up even on the thinnest branches!

So we had my famous pizza with peperoni, sausage, mozzarella, basil, roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic. Followed by a sweet pizza with fresh blackberries, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. The supermarket I bought them from had no vegetables or fruit just a ton of California berries well the bluebs were from Chile. We drank Argentinian Malbec from Mendoza. So as you can hear, we did not starve!

Here we have an ofshoot of the firescreen, if anybody is still awake!

A chestnut roaster made from the leftover screen material. Works well!

I want to welcome and thank a couple of my latent (hidden) readers.

Cassie Conlan - Maureen's niece kindly printed some my blogs and showed them to Gloria - Maureen's mom. So when we called Gloria on Christmas day, having told her we would be in Morocco, she was not surprised that we were still at home.

Thanks Cassie for spreading the word beyond us cyber savies!

Thank you all for your cards and gifts.

I will ask William to post some pics here of Timothy and Jeremy, our grandkids, from their family Christmas in England.

Happy Holidays!
