Oliver and I sat in the afternoon cold to test the new Biolite CampStove 2. Worked well. Will be fun to use when we camp this spring.
A cold (9°F) beautiful morning, snow has stopped falling, time to venture outside to clean off the van.
Another holiday in Cleveland, and another cherry pie made by my mother-in-law from the cherry pie filling I canned back in rhe summer. Nice way to celebrate Christmas. Earlier we stood around a blazing fire out in the cold.
Preparing Momofuku bo ssam foe the family Christmas Eve meal. Erin made Poole’s mac’n’cheese.
Late to the party, but happy nonetheless: wearing my new Daring Fireball t-shirt. Cc: @gruber
Luminary night in the Lake Hogan Farms neighborhood, fundraiser for the Ronal McDonald House of Chapel Hill.
Fun movie. Star Wars: Thw Last Jedi.
Our contractor is also a realtor. He’s rented a theater for his clients to see the new Star Wars film. So we’re now in our seats ready to skim through the galaxies.
Met with our contractor today for a walkthrough of the house. Exciting to envision the many changes to come.
Our annual family viewing of the Little House episode ‘Christmas at Plum Creek.’ It’s all in the giving and graciousness and sweetness.
Went walking in the snow up on our 4 acres. Kicked over a log and found this centipede.
Fun morning with my son walking along the river in Cleveland, bridges and trains and clear skies.
My mother-in-law made a pie with the sour cherry pie filling I️ put up back in June. Can’t wait for a slice.
Making plans for a family trip to the Republic of Vanuatu - where Erin and I️ served as U.S. Peace Corps volunteers - but realized this morning that we’ll be traveling during the World Cup. I️ remember watching taped games in 1998 in middle of village.
My brother and his daughters were in town, so we all went last night to see the film Wonder. Kids loved it. I teared up a few times. Good movie.
Big oak tree that towers over the house we purchased this summer.
Just catching on to the photo challenge activity here in Micro.blog. Some very cool photos. But where can I learn the day’s theme? Is theme announced somewhere?
