December Views - 2
H turned 18 on the 2nd, but I already acknowledged that in the first December Views post. He had a nice day, I think.
The top photo here is of our home office, which is where our dining table used to be (half of the kitchen). When H moved into our teensy house, we had to reconfigure. I still don't know how we've managed to fit everything we have into this tiny space (and having a garage helps big-time), but somehow I just keep finding little spaces to store things. I thought maybe I'd tidy up all the stacks of papers before taking the photo, but that seemed disingenius. This is what it typically looks like. :) That tiny B&W TV (which is 40 years old) is one I inherited from my mother years ago. I've only recently pulled it out and put it in the office...figure we might as well enjoy free TV while we can (since starting in February, we lose it). :)
As most of you know, I've been spending most of my online time this past year at Twitter. That's a screen shot of my replies page. If you're not a Twitterer, I realize it's probably hard to understand the appeal. It's gotten so hugely popular that now more often than not, people are using it to market and sell stuff--either themselves (the place has become rife with 'social media experts') or their products. But I joined Twitter 1-1/2 years ago for the same reason I use it now--the conversation. It's been a sanity-saver for me this past year.
The last photo is of Shelagh's wonderful post about her holiday gift-giving project inspired by Three Cups of Tea. I urge you to read it--and if you can give $5 (or more), to contribute to this very worthwhile project.
