The holidays really seem to sneak up on us.  We have had lots of adventures this year that seemed to gobble up vacation days and only leave a little time off for the holidays.  Luckily my days off start tomorrow and continue through the new year.  I always love December, the preparations, celebration with family, and hopefully some time for reflection.   Work seems to ramp up in the days leading to the end of year.  Lots of employee reviews and thinking ahead to what the new year will bring.   I look forward to the days ahead in retirement, that I can relax and enjoy the season.

One of favorite parts of the holidays is that I work from home a little more often and that has allowed me more time with my pups.  They have been getting extra treats and toys leading up to the big day.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!  I received my Christmas present early, a new Panasonic Lumix digital camera.  I can’t wait to take some photos over the next week to share in the new year.  Here’s to a peaceful 2018!
