2012 Begins

We've had unseasonably warm weather.  Last week we rode bikes to the Haymarket and back (15 miles).  Today we rode the trails in the Highlands area (12 miles).
It was a perfect day!  Sunny and 65 degrees.  Broke all records.  We took the Christmas lights off the house and it was much warmer than when we put them up.
Yesterday we installed the shade over the bedroom door.  It arrived a month ago, but it had creases in it and had to be reordered.  The shade opens either from the top or the bottom.  At night, we like to lower the top part a foot or two.  This lets us see the moon and the stars, without anyone being able to see in.  Perfect!

Christmas was a ton of fun this year!  Got to see lots of family.  Rusty is pictured here showing off his "funny gift" from Felicia.

As the new year begins, we are ready to start some home-improvement projects.  In a couple of days, Rusty and Billy will be building a wall in the garage.  Of course, I'll be posting pics.
Happy New Year!
