Got the house winterized this weekend! Screens down, storm windows up, gutters cleaned, furnace filter replaced.
To celebrate I’m having a wee dram of Jamison with a cold filtered water chaser.
Carrie is taking a well deserved jacuzzi bath up in our bathroom. (might join her later 😉)
Cheers!!!!

My latest acquisition: Canon Pixma pro 200s, a professional quality printer that can print up to 13’ by 19’ borderless. I’ve had several irl friends who’ve been bugging me for prints of my photos. In addition to gifts I’m thinking I’ll set up an Etsy site. Won’t happen till after the holidays tho. 🙃
