I only had time to take one "through the window" photo today. It's an ibis on our wet driveway, but I like the way it seems to be amid a body of water.

Marya leaves on Thursday, so I am spending as much time with her as possible. I am not thrilled that Ed is having to work so much. Retirement sure does look good, but we'll have to see on that one, I guess. I'm feeling for him, as December is always his busiest time, and this one seems to be among one of the busiest.

Hope to catch up on checking out everyone's blips soon. I love blipland. I can come here, see so many things I would certainly have missed, and I can pretend the world is sane for a bit. Nice.
