My last day of vacation - back to work tomorrow! Last night was the annual Christmas Party for work. Ralph decided not to go this year, so I hooked up with a co-worker that was date-less as well, and we had fun. It was a beautiful party - good food, beautiful women, handsome men, fun conversations! The entertainment was hysterical - they did "1 Minute to Win It" - fun! The 'contestants' had 1 minute to complete a task - blowing paper cups off a table with a balloon (you try blowing up a balloon while laughing hysterically!), stacking 4 apples (harder than it sounds!), pulling tissues out of a box, etc. Fun!

AJ took a couple of pictures of me before I went out - hard to get a good picture inside at night - we just don't have good lighting for it!

The storm came in yesterday with a drizzle - nothing too exciting, and then.....it started pouring! This little squirrel was running around in our front yard when the skies opened up. He had to finish burying his acorn (?) before he climbed the tree. The rain gauge showed a rate of almost 8 inches an hour - and he is digging a hole in my lawn! He did finally find shelter in the tree.

The red wrapping paper is still a hit! This is Indy playing in it now.
