In the midst of all of the craziness of the holidays and the turmoil in regards to the loss of my job, one may think that I have given up on the picture a day project. But, in fact; I am still going strong. I have taken the pictures, but I just hadn't saved them into the the proper file. And obviously, I had not uploaded them to here! So here we go! This may have to be in two or three different posts because, well......I am way behind in sharing! But I give to you.....the end of December 2024 in picture. (December 7th through the 31rst) you can check out the first part of December in pictures here.
Day 41
Yes, the dog will definitely be playing a large role as subject matter for my pictures.
Day 42 Jason and I went to the Lincoln Cemetery. The weather was nice (this was in December) and graveyards are great places to walk. I also picked up a few pictures that I posted on Find a Grave. (People had asked for pictures of gravestones...so I volunteered to grab them).
Day 43 That single little wee droplet of water just caught my eye!
Day 44 My nephew and I went to visit Fort Duncan, the ruins of a Civil War Fort that was built to defend Maryland against attack. (Built in response to the Battle of Antietam.). This is how I spent the morning of my birthday!
Day 45 I was off work and had one important errand to run. I had to go to Hickory Farms to pick up a beef stick for our Christmas Eve snack tray.
Day 46 I was messing around on Ancestry.Com and found this article where my grandfather had been charged with transporting and distributing liquor during the prohibition!
Day 47 Good old fashioned applesauce cake! I made a sheet cake versus the tube cakes that my grandmother always made. I also did NOT wrap it in a rum soaked towel!
Day 48 My traditional birthday cookies were delayed. I had planed to make them on my actual birthday, but well......we know what happened that day. (You can read about it
here.) But no fear, I did have my cookies!
Day 49 We had a wee bit of snow. The dog enjoyed playing in it....but she didn't like her feet to get crusty with snow!
Day 50 There is just something gorgeous about a fir tree covered with snow!
Day 51 Outside with the dog.....every day. And boy is it cold some days!
Day 52 This is one of my all time favorite meals, Baked Ziti, roasted broccoli and garlic bread!
Day 53 It as only December 19th, but I started to put gifts into the stockings! I do it because I know it drives Jason nuts to know there are gifts in his stocking but he can't open them. It is amusing to see him slyly squeeze and shake as curiosity gets the best of him!
Day 54 I had a pre-scheduled day off of work so I ran a few errands while Jason was at work! We were blessed with some snow flurries.
Day 55 Jason loves chocolate covered cherries, but this year discovered chocolate covered blueberries which he has declared even better than the cherries.
Day 56 This dog is so lazy! And yes, when she decides to lay on the couch she takes up pretty much the whole couch!
Day 57 Another pre-scheduled day off of work and Jason sent me to the store to get soap and beard wash while he was at work.
Day 58 Christmas Eve was finally here! The dog loved her gifts, but she had the MOST fun ripping them open because yes, she does unwrap her own gifts!
Day 58 Jason had fun playing with his new accessory that he got for his drone.
Day 59 It might have been back to work for me (for a few more days) but it was all play for Zoey
Day 60 This is the handiwork of Zoey. That is a huge pot of dirt that held some prickly pear cacti that I was rooting!
Day 61 This dog was making me feel guilty about making her come inside!
Day 62 I failed to mindfully take a picture. However, I somehow mindlessly snapped this selfie of my head while visiting my in laws.
Days 63 and 64 I totally failed to take pictures. They were tough days. They were emotional. They were heart breaking. They were scary as I navigated the last two days of employment.
