What empty nesters leave for Santa Clause · 06:36 PM

Just got my DA* 16-50 back from Pentax Canada - pretty happy with the repair. It's freaking cold outside (one of those feels like -28) and had to take at least one shot that has absolutely no photographic merit at all for your enjoyment

(ok maybe it was for my enjoyment) .....hand held while shaking uncontrollably

What a great front yard, I bet Santa will stop and leave some gifts for you and Karen. Enjoy and don't worry, the kids always come home.

That beer's probably cold enough to drink by now . . . .

That beer wouldn't be there long in our neighbourhood!

It'd be too hot to drink in ours (+39 deg C yesterday).

Oh, nice pic!

I haven't seen snow like that in my whole life (but I'm only a young 65yo).

You know Dave, if I see that before Santa does, it's history, I'll put the bottle back so he'll understand, after all, it's the thought that counts. Being on the bad list or having a beer? Come on, is that even a question?

To quote Mr. Buffett:

"Ho Ho Ho and and bottle of Rum

Santa's run off to the Caribbean

He thinks about boat drinks and fun in the Sun

Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of Rum."
