Hmmm....my lady finch is still at it! Later yesterday morning, I peeked in her nest and saw 4 eggs! I am now wondering if she will lay another today too! She and the poppa bird are taking turns sitting on the eggs and keeping them warm. I am soo excited to have these little finch babies-to-be in the nest!
We visited with family yesterday, first dh's mom and then my parents. We gave my dad the Star Trek version of Scene It and spent time playing it. It is actually pretty darn fun! It also was harder than I expected. Dh has seen most all of the series (original, DSN, Voyager, Next Gen., etc) and all the movies. And more importantly, he remembers things! My dad and Nature Boy were very good at the game too, but haven't seen all the series. Me? I have seen lots and lots Star Trek, but I appear to have failed to commit every bit of minutia to memory.
When we were at my MILs, we had some homemade hot chocolate and after opening presents, we watched a DVD that we gave her. My MIL loves Tasha Tudor and so we got her a Tasha Tudor Christmas dvd. It was actually very sweet to watch with clips of Tasha Tudor, her home and family interspersed with art and short readings from her books. If you are at all a Tasha Tudor fan, I recommend the DVD.
Today, we are due for yucky weather, sleet and freezing rain. It looks like a circle the wagons kind of day, which is fine by me. I really could use a couple days to relax and unwind! It's been a long week!!!!
