1) Yesterday, we went to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of
Smaug. I enjoyed it a lot. What an ending! I don’t think I will give anything away if I
say that many of the people around us, including me, burst out laughing at the
end. But it has me wondering if that is
the typical reaction.
2) If you look closely around ¾ of the way into the
movie, you will see two pugs wandering around in Laketown. One of them looks suspiciously like our
Olive.
3) Speaking of movies, my son Evan got me the complete set of
the Harry Potter movies for
Christmas. I watched the first one last
night. Carrie got me a jar of date syrup
and a book. She knows my weak spots. I got a light box from Greg. That should provide loads of fun for me when I get it set up.
4) Every year I get the family a new board game or
two to play during the holidays. This
year I got two: Munchkin and Thanks a Lot! We enjoyed Munchkin but only played it once.
We played Thanks a Lot! until
we went through the whole deck of cards.
It is non-competitive and a lot of laughs. I won all but one of the matches so it is my
new favorite game.

5) I got to the half-way point of my Flickr 365 on
Christmas Day, which is also my half-birthday.
I have managed to keep up so far.
Hoping I am on the down-ward slope.
Carrie, who started her 365 on New Year’s Day, is really close to the
end. If she can do it, I can do it. Right?

oh, Olive you need to stop stealing the show. did she get any Christmas gifts this year? new booties or toys for her play house? on instagram i follow several folks because they share lots of their pugs views. love it!! ( :
i want to see the Hobbit. looks like a good one. on my "must do list".
You can totally do it! :). Olive is a sweetie, and maybe a film star in a secret life? :D
really like that last shot. and the glass ornament is really pretty, too.
olive IS a star - even if just here. :)
i was just looking through your 365 pics, wow!! and olive, ha, so cute!!
Sounds like you had a very lively Christmas Barb! My hubs doesn't like to play board games, so having my son to play with has been fun. :)
Hey that's fantastic about your flickr challenge. I've been thinking about it too. Robert just said today that we should go see that movie and now I'll be on the look out for the pugs...lol. Hope the rest of your holidays are wonderful Barb. :)

I can't possibly top the last post!
I have been debating whether to see Hobbit in the theater or wait and rent it. Really like your last pic of the cherries or berries?
We need to see The Hobbit and must do so this next week. We never go to the theatre but buy the DVD's that we want to have so we can watch them more than once but, there is the theatre experience that is much better too, so hopefully it will happen soon. I must visit your Flickr. account. Enjoy the weekend.
Nice post...I find Olive is looking really trim...must have been her part in the movie? ;) Gorgeous rose hips, love glass and you know I like the other one!
They are saying really good things about that movie ~
ooohhhhh i really enjoyed this entry!! we are expecting rain here tomorrow and i thought perhaps we would take in a movie. now i know what we will see!!
Those glass ornaments are beautiful and I suspect all pugs are "stars"....Olive sure looks like one!,
those berries are gorgeous as is Olive the Pug .-) I've never seen glass ornaments like this is it very pretty.
Love that last shot...was going to just read and could not resist saying I love it and I love the kitty pics below...but got to go read what the post is about now!
