We spent a very quiet Christmas Eve. After a long hike with the dog we drove to Litchfield and stopped for lunch @the Corner. We had a very pleasant and leisurely lunch and Dottie joined us for coffee and dessert. She took our picture. We went home and watched Netflix for the rest of the evening.
It makes me happy to know that after nearly 25 years, Leon and and still enjoy each other's company and can share these simple times together.

Leon, after having it "repaired" several times at outrageous expense, decided to matters into his own hands. He went out and bought new belts and we went on YouTube to find a repair video - which of course we found. Leon is handy like that anyway, and in a pinch, I can tackle a mechanical repair if needed.

Got it all back together and tested it out on yesterday's six-inch snowfall. Leon was happy. Said it has never worked better - even when new or after the many trips to the dealer for repairs and adjustments.
Sorry, no photos of snow-blowing...been there, done that.
Last night we were invited for dinner at Dottie's. Dottie is a friend we met about a year and a half ago at the doggie park. Her dog, Katja and our Benni are in love. Dottie is vegetarian and she wanted to cook us a meal to demonstrate how good it can be.
Dottie has a very nice open concept home which she designed and furnished with her very unique style. She loves stone and granite and contemporary furnishings. She even made her own acrylic dining room table.

Here is dinner - or part of it. We also had a nice salad, and tofu and baked apples for desert. Everything was delicious. Note the beautiful stone/granite/marble counter top on the right.

We had a real nice evening, eating, chatting and being molested by Katja who couldn't understand why Benni didn't come with us.

I had a big White brand snowblower back at my Dads house that was hardly used due to lack of snow down here the past few years. It worked great when I did use it.
It's sitting in my Sisters garage now trying to be sold off.
I would love that vegetarian dinner and that's a nice butcher block table she's got there in that great looking kitchen.
I wish you, Leon and Benni many more Happy and Healthy New Years to come.
Hugs,
Stan
All looks very festive, hope you guys have very happy New Year!
