I am going to be a Nanni!!! : ) So excited!!! :) :) :)

A view of the state capital at night.

I had just snapped a pic when the lights in the dome came on. Here's the second pic I took! : )

My Mister and I went to the State Library. It is still festively decorated in late January.

We finished the evening at Panera's, with healthy soup and salad, and yum!

Sometimes when we come home we find pooch sleeping... she is becoming deaf as she ages, so she doesn't always hear us come in. :0/

I got a new camera lens for Christmas... I will post more about it soon. It takes nice 'bokeh' images don't you think so?

I also received this... It is so wonderful, as the teapot stays hot for hours : )

A view from Mumsi's place....

Also where several friends and neighbors share their love of this pastime...

The warmest room in the house... even pooch thinks so, on these very cold, short winter days.

We tend to watch more tv, or knit or read...

And it is not long before it is time to hit the sack.

My Italian Mister and I went here, one of his favorite places......

...we had this.... and it was very scrumptious!!!  Great Italian music and atmosphere for a cold evening where it gets dark at 4PM.
