Trying to stay warm and sane.

I haven't been able to take many shots on this vacation. Being here has reminded me of why I was so happy to go to college and get away from all this chaos.

Sitting by the fire helps me relax, so I took some shots of the fire.

Warm.
Cozy.

Merry Christmas to everyone on Photographica!

Peace,

Jaime

    That looks like a wonderful fire to cozy up by - Merry Christmas, Jaime. It is after 10 PM and all of our kids and grandkids just left. Wim and I are exhausted, but happy. I could not have done Christmas this year without the kids help because Wim is laid up.

    - Flowers are happiness...

    I love our fireplace. Its my "job" to get the fire wood and keep the fire going. Which I don't mind 'cause I think its fun...uh...I'm not a pyro...(Drops matches) ;)

    LOVE Warm! Live in an apartment...no hearth...oooo jealous. So many things making me homesick this season, and you just added to it - remembering curling up in front of the fire at my parents' place (and having to fight the doxies for a prime spot)!

    - So hard to bee good...


  • Escape Artist
    Heh, sorry for making you homesick. I'm kinda homesick, more like...wanna be somewhere else than home ....sick, if that makes any sense.
