Delray Beach & Pompano Beach

Resting after breakfast.

Afternoon pup walk

Sandy & Larry have a great bulletin board in their kitchen. I saw pix of their grandkids at Catalina I shot 20 years ago!!!

Quick Trip to Delray Beach

Stella & Google packed all of their stuff & were wondering when we were gonna leave.

Great sky on the way to Delray.

 Holding hands ... I mean paws on the ride!

Baking Cookies!

Cookie baking day at my house with Mary & Barbara. First things first ... selfies!

Mary got us matching aprons.

After selfies we made Spritz cookies.

Some had jelly, sprinkles & chocolate.

 

Some were in the shape of pups & Christmas trees.

 

 

We also made raspberry & apricot hamentashen.

 

Holiday Backdrop & Snuggleboy

I shot portraits of Stella, Google & Mary on the holiday backdrop at the vet's office.

 

Back at the house, Google wrapped himself in his blankie on the couch ...

... & then took a nap.

Mary gathered some holly from the backyard before heading to her Christmas party at Mayo.

Annual Tree Trimming

904tree.com was at my neighbor's house removing some big trees. Afterwards, they came to my house for tree removal & trimming. They did stump grinding after a large Sago Palm was taken out.

When all is done, there are always so many fronds & branches to load in the truck!

Winter is Here

It's pretty cold out so Stella wore her ski jacket while watching Larry the Anhinga next door.

 Stella & Google love bundling up!

Thanksgiving

Mary checks the internal temp on her beautiful turkey.

Yum!

 

Delicious dinner!

Mary (jelly roll cake), Sarah (pecan pie) & Barbara (pumpkin pie).

My mantra has always been, if there's no chocolate, it's not dessert (but I did have a piece of yummy jelly roll cake).

Besties Afternoon Relaxation

Stella & Google ... relaxing in the family room at 2:04pm ...

 

... followed by relaxing in the bedroom at 2:34pm.

 Afternoon view towards neighbor's backyard.

 

Pressure Cleaning

I had the driveway & pavers pressure cleaned today. This used to be my favorite household chore. I might have to get a new pressure cleaner & get back into it.

Shady Time before Sunset

Stella loves relaxing in the shade as the sun goes down.

Backyard Sunset

Nice evening sky in our backyard tonight.

China Town Dinner

Adam & Hank heading to dinner at China Town with Wendy, Andy & me.

Detroit Style Pizza & a Treat

Helaine & I went to Death By Pizza for lunch today in Delray Beach. Their Detroit Style pizza is so AMAZING! General Tso's Beef was the special this week. It was delicious, as was The Enemy.

Sometimes Stella saves her treat for later.

Lucille's Bad to the Bone

Lucille's Bad to the Bone for dinner with Andy, Helaine, Hank, Adam & Wendy.

Giant Tree Trimming & Yellow House Event

Mary had some branches trimmed from a giant tree that hangs over her front yard.

I went to a private event with Mary's Mayo team at Yellow House this afternoon. One of the rooms was decorated with great Letterpress art by Amos Paul Kennedy.

We had to trace our hand & use rubber stamps. I wrote in shadow printing & drew a pup.
