Serene Sunday Scenes

Greetings to all!  It's me, Mags, here with a miscellaneous bunch of photos of things we did this week that brought us a lot of serenity!  Let's cut with the chit-chat and look at the pix!  Ready?!?!

Mom still isn't 100% up to snuff, so I helped her take it easy.

"Stay here, Mom.  We should watch another episode of Dr. Who."

Not only did we get in some quality regular TV time, but there was a lot on Birdie TV this week:

"Mom?!?  There's a whole pack of little Juncos in the Ash tree!"

We got some nice all-family walks in - even though it was cold, gloomy, and drizzly out:

"Tell me this isn't great!  Isn't this great, Cam?"
"It's wonderful, Mags!"

Now, I found this next photo on Mom's iPhone.  It's weird, because the collar looks a WHOLE lot like Cammie's collar, but I have NEVER seen that super-squishy-looking piggy before!

Someone who looks like Cam and a pink piggy

Mom must have cheated on us with some other Sibe.  One with a collar that matches Cammie's.    And then took a picture of her.  Because I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT PINK PIG BEFORE!!!  Funny, when I asked Cammie about it, she just started whistling and walked off.  Hmm.

Anyway ... here we are being super sweet on an all-family walk:

"Hello, Cammie.  How about a little ..."

"BOOM!"
"Umpf!"

Like I didn't know that was her and that pink pig!!!

Just kidding.  I was just playing with her.  I'm happy for her and her Pink Pig.

... Speaking of things I'd like to rip to shreds, here's Cam in a serene moment with our pumpkin:

Cammie, with the pumpkin, in the living room

No, I'm not really granted much access to the pumpkin, either.  Fear not, though - here I am playing ball with Mom:

"Great throw, Mom!  You want it back?  Chase me!!!"

We had tons of fun playing Siberian Rules Fetch.  We did that in the house a lot this week, since it's so super cold outside.

Mom is learning more cookie-icing skills, and gave them a go this week.  Here's what she came up with:

Mom's cookies

It made her feel serene to have a creative outlet - and it made Dad serene to eat some of Mom's "work".  We helped Mom by doing this:

"Zzz..."
"Zzz..."

Yep. Total serenity!

I hope your week was as serene as ours!

Yours sincerely,
