This is the look I get when I make Jackson wait for his treat. I had to bribe him to sit still long enough to catch a shot of him cheering on his Nittany Lion basketball team in the Big Ten tournament. Had a nice lunch with Myrna today and came home to play – what else – Harry Potter. We might as well throw away all our other board games. Let’s see if we can complete the game in less than two months this time.

January 1
I took the kids and dogs on my traditional New Year’s Day hike, this year to the Julington-Durbin Creek Preserve, and oh, the drama. I knew the girls wouldn’t want to go on a long hike, so I took them down a side trail to cut off the longer loop. It was a little grown over and Christina cried the whole way, saying we were lost, that we’d never find our way out, that we would be eaten by bears and Daddy would have to live alone, that she wanted to go back and take the long way, who cares about her feet? Then there were some briars on the trail and I had to pull a couple out of Jackson’s paws and that sealed it for Christina. She says she’ll never go on another hike with me again, even though we were never lost. And that’s how we’re kicking off 2023. 🎉
