Christmas 2024 is now just a memory for most of us. Some are still celebrating with family and friends.
Ours was lots of fun. The weather co-operated and everyone was able to attend. My eldest son brough robes for his father and brothers for a photo opportunity. After all we need a little fun together. All of the handsome men in my life. Team Timson:
Boxing Day – The sales are on. As the stores try to empty their shelves rather than store Christmas items and presents until next year.

Porte Ponderings:
This week has been filled with political news. The Canadian Minister of Finance resigned after she was advised she would be relieved of the position. And she should be fired. She let the Prime Minister run our debt from the projected $40Billion to over $60Billion with gimicky bonuses and “Tax Free” days (lost revenues) in an attempt to buy votes. She should have done her job better and we wouldn’t have this huge deficit.
The US President elect threatened huge tariffs. He’s not even in the position yet and he’s been causing major chaos everywhere. His own country will soon be shut-down because he encouraged Republicans to turn down the emergency funding. Chaos.
I’ve been sick all week. And unfortunately I’ve been watching too much news. It’s depressing and upsetting at the same time. Now that pneumonia is confirmed so I’m taking 2 antibiotics and using a puffer. I hope I’m feeling well soon or I may have to cancel Christmas Eve celebrations ;(

This photo is an example of how quickly things can change. For just a moment the rising sun shone through the clouds and illuminated the willow trees a golden hue. Storm clouds were in the background. Just in time for me to snap a picture with my new Nikon Z7II. There is a much steeper learning curve than I had anticipated, but set on auto and framing the picture just so I managed to capture this stunning moment. My sister just had time to say it should be a beautiful picture and the sun was hidden behind a cloud.
The only guarantee we have is that time will march on. You might as well be true to yourself and live in the present with your true self.
