“I’m so glad my window looks east into the sunrising…. It’s so splendid to see the morning coming up over those long hills and glowing through those sharp fir tops. It’s new every morning, and I feel as if I washed my very soul in that bath of earliest sunshine.” ~L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

Our resident baker has waited patiently for eight days to bake the gingerbread Mickey cookie kit that she got for Christmas. Tonight, her patience could last no longer and the Mickeys were mixed, rolled, cut, baked and eaten right up!

2015 has been rung in here at the Wood household and it has brought with it a nice, retro case of the Y2k bug. All manner of modern technology seems to have come down with it, though we are steadily working to get everything back up to snuff.

Though we have managed to get through the day in the ‘old school’ way with traditional activities such as cleaning and furniture rearranging, Y2k has thrown a wrench in my plan to kick off another daily photo series.

With any luck, by tomorrow we’ll have fixed the issue and I’ll be able to post photos here again. We’ll party like it was 1999 and we’ll move on with the task of documenting this 15th year of the 21st Millennium. I hope you’ll join me as we see what the year has in store.

We kicked off the new year by staying up, all four of us, until the tolling bells of midnight. As we do most everything as a group, it felt like just the right way to usher in a new year of adventures together!
