Sunset at the End of the Year

I saved these for the last, for the last day of the year (where did it GO ??????) because I love sunsets even more than I love sunrises 🙂 No, these are not taken over the Arabian Gulf, but over the Wakulla Springs, as the sun sets in the cold dark days of winter time:

Happy New Year, Kuwait and Qatar!

It’s just about time! Happy New Year to all our friends in Kuwait and Qatar!

May God bless you and your families abundantly in the coming year 🙂

Mutual Hallucination

“Let’s stop at that quilt shop up the road here!” AdventureMan exclaimed, sounding a lot more enthusiastic than I suspected he felt.

“I don’t know,” I reply, “it looked a little junky. I’m not sure it was even open.”

“It IS open!” he was delighted as we approached.

We drove in, and peered through the windows. It didn’t look like a quilt shop. It looked like a rickety tickety oyster bar of some kind, the kind of place we might love, if we were hungry, but not a quilt shop at all.

We looked again at the sign:

We had both read it as “Quilts Too” but it was something else entirely. I guess we saw what we expected to see.
