Merry Christmas

Posing for the camera

Warming up

After a short time out shopping on Monroe Street with a strong wind and a temperature around 10F, we warmed up with some steamed milk at a coffee shop. Malcolm took a bite of a rather dry zuchinni muffin, then dipped it into the milk before eating the rest.

Thursdays are the best

When the garbage truck came by on our side of the street, Malcolm and I were standing in the window watching (naturally). The garbage man made a little mess, spilling part of our trash on the road. This troubled Malcolm very much, and he urgently wanted to have it cleaned up. As we got ready to go out, he went down the hall to the closet where we keep the vacuum cleaner. I got it out, thinking he wanted to help me vacuum the living room after we got back in (I had, after all, told him earlier that we were going to do some cleaning today). But he had in his mind that we should take the vacuum outside with us, for that is where the mess was.

Shoes for piggy...shoes for me
