Yes, the Season is alive and well, even now . . . .
Happy 10th Day Of Christmas!
At That Old House, Christmas gets its full twelve days.
Decorations don't come down until January 6th, Epiphany.
Three Kings Day.
This is also why we don't decorate too early!

Last Wednesday, daughter Anne and I dunked poor Dion in the kitchen sink for a dreaded bath.
Dion needed to be all clean and spiffy, because . . .
the next day Anne and Alida and Dion and I hit the road at 5:30 in the morning,
heading for Michigan and two of the darlingest young men on the planet:

| "I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay . . . ." |
Almost-3-month old Calvin and Luke. My goddaughter's twins.
I believe that makes them my great-godsons, doesn't it? :-)
I took pictures. And I left my laptop with the picture card in the hotel room
when we checked out on New Year's Day. Doh!
New Year's Resolution: Check carefully before leaving hotel rooms.

Saturday's drive home was long, wet, and towards the end, very dark.
Did you know that as you drive across Pennsylvania on Route 80, the distance
to the other end of the state keeps getting further away? It's true.
We had two more people with us -- my sister and my niece.
I was afraid I was going to have to chloroform my sister to get her to leave the babies,
but she came peacefully. The handcuffs helped.

Today, I am taking Mr. Dion to the veterinarian.
He is having trouble with his balance. If he tilts his head, he tips over.
I'm thinking it's an inner ear thing, but we'll find out.
Please wish us luck at the vet!
Tomorrow? We take a look back at bits and pieces of 2010 at That Old House.
Happy New Year! -- Cass
P.S. Annie took video of Dion in the bath; this one is of the pre-bath cookie treat bribe.
