A few black and white shots from my Christmas in Minnesota . . .

Christmas cat
(Zoë, resident napper and late night face-licker at my little brother and sister-in-law's house in the beautiful capital city of Saint Paul).

Christmas gift
(Trisha, the aforementioned sister-in-law opening one of a pile of gifts today. )

Christmas salad
(A little spinach number I whipped up with granny smith apples, warm goat cheese and crushed almonds.)

Christmas table
(Me, Trisha's folks Sandy and Mark, Kent and Trisha.)

Christmas ornament
(Sent by Aunt Janet from her trips to Poland.)



. . . look for some shots from my parents' 40th Wedding Anniversary coming up on New Year's Eve. In the mean time, I've got some final exams to write.


Merry Christmas, dear ones.
