How We Finished Off The Year

It's hard to believe another year has come to an end.  Everyone has gone to their respective homes, but we were busy for the last couple of days.

Jeremy finished off his visit by doing nearly all the dishes on the last two nights.  He even roped Phil into helping.

Janet had to take this photo as it will be many years before Phil does dishes again.

Phil has been making calendars every year for the last six or seven years.  Now our girls have jumped on the band wagon and made some as well.  Meggie forgot her laptop at home, so she has to email the photos to Phil so he can make her calendar.

Everyone's calendar is made with their own photos.  Bronwyn's calendar is of photos of the Gorge area.  Phil's calendar, on the left is of their trip to the U.K. and Briana and Ted's calendar is of places they have visited.

Everyone has gets to help and everyone loathes loves calendar season.  Phil starts out with the young ones.

When they tire out, he presses his 88 year old father into action.  Nobody, but nobody gets out of this seasonal torture treat.

Janet polished off the year by making mounds of Macademia and Pecan spicy nuts and Almond and Pecan spicy nuts.

Us doggies ended 2012 by being ill.  Noodles started not eating and throwing up, so Phil took her to the vet.  With everything being closed on New Years Day, they didn't want to take a chance.  Dr. Smith said Noodles has caught a bug and gave her a shot and some medicine.  He told Phil to get some Pepto-Bismal to give to me should I get the same bug.  Noodles can't be counted on for a lot, but excelled 100% this time as now I am sick.  We didn't even want our breakfast this morning!
