2012 Christmas Tree and House lights

Thursday, December 6th, 2012

Yeah! It’s that time of year again.

We usually put up our Christmas decorations – the tree, in house things like some candles and pictures, and the outside lights, the weekend after Thanksgiving. Because we had a crazy week that week, we had to wait another week to do the outside lights.

Then, when we started putting up the tree inside, we found out that most of our lights had died, and it was too late at night to go buy replacements!!

So, the tree stood at the top of the stairs looking a bit forlorn with boxes of decorations scattered about but nothing on the tree.

We finally got some lights, spent some time arranging things to get at least one good string that worked, and finally put up the rest of the decorations.

I think it turned out pretty well, and we had fun finishing it up.

Oh, we always do this as a family. This also was part of why it took so long to put everything up since we are all so busy it isn’t easy to have time together for doing it.

Here are some pictures of the tree and outside, plus a short video of the outside lights so you can see what that looks like while it’s blinking.

Razorback Turtles – Raph and Rudy

Thursday, July 19th, 2012

I was poking around on my computer while trying to edit some golf swing videos from last Monday’s trip to the golf range and came across these videos.

We have 2 small turtles in a bowl in the living room. Great place for them. They of course are the boys’ turtles, which just as surely translates as “my responsibility”.

I play around with them all the time especially when I’m feeding them. They’re actually quite cute, have a lot of personality, and are a lot more fun than you might think. They aren’t exactly fetching sticks or balls, but they do ‘play’ a little.

Here are a couple videos of them doing turtle water ballet and spoon chasing.
