Two provinces
Four different towns & cities
The above two photos were taken in the Muskoka region of Ontario, Canada |
Areas with snow and others with very little
Mild days and freezing cold days
Approximately 1,350 kilometers (838 miles) driven
Countless plates of delicious food, glasses of wine and Christmas baked goods
20 family members hugged
3 dogs patted
We are happy to have celebrated with everyone
But also happy to be home
Even the dogs are tired :)
My sister's dog Mabel |
My brother's dog Marlowe |
Meeko loved visiting and caused as much mischief as possible but is now happily asleep in his favourite spot on our sofa |
We barely see them during the holidays
My routine will become more normal in the days ahead
My daughters go back to school on the 10th
I can't wait to start painting again
I hope you all had wonderful holidays
and I wish you the very best in the new year.

Wow, you sure have had a lot going on - you could need a little vacation after the vacation! :-D
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful yummy time. Hope all went well. Back to base now and lots of good things for the new year I hope for you. X Lovely doggy pics, thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great holiday! I loved the walks in the woods and I know you equally enjoyed your chases through the bush with Meeko. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your new paintings! xo
Tina--A post-vacation vacation would be nice!
ReplyDeleteJulie--I'm looking forward to a year full of wonderful creativity. I hope the same for you.
Nance--It was a great holiday. I'll exclude Meeko's AWOL deer-tracking expedition from the forest walks I enjoyed though. :)
