Things of Note:

It’s the last TTT of the year! I think this was a good sampling. That final link is an especially good one, for those who found 2016 a trial.

We are back in town after spending a week with my family in Charleston. There were many nephew snuggles, laughs and good meals. Ian has officially held, fed, burped and played with a baby, though I could not convince him to try changing a diaper. 😀 I’ve got some new crafty toys to play with this coming year, and some new cookbooks to check out. Maybe I’ll even get back to posting recipes here on DD. You never know! I also hit my 2016 reading goal of 110 books, so yay for that! I’ll have to think about next year’s goal.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and have a fun and safe New Years this coming weekend. I’ll see you all in 2017!

What do you hope for in 2017?

Chasing Embers (Ben Garston #1) by James Bennett. What if all of our myths were true? When humanity started to really dominate the planet, the creatures of legend and folklore banded together to form the Pact. In order to escape humanity’s notice (and persecution), only one individual of each kind of creature would be allowed to remain, the others passing into a Sleep until the day a lasting peace might be achieved. The Remnants who stayed awake agreed to keep a low profile, not fight one another, and help enforce the Pact on any who broke it. Red Ben Garston […]
