House possessed?

We cheaped out on our latest version of backyard patio lights and they might be possessed. I turned them off yesterday morning when I noticed they were on and when I got back from a doctor's appointment that afternoon, they were on again! (It's not the first time we've found them turned on when we know we didn't turn them on.)

And then when I was taking my coat off, I noticed that Alexa was magically turned on, playing Zac Brown songs from his new album. Maybe the cats are fans too?

Weekend work

I'm working on the next museum newsletter and need pictures of the houses that will be on our house walk so Andy and I went out and got pictures Saturday afternoon. Let's face it - he's the photographer in the family. My boss jokes (I think) that they hired me and got Andy as a bonus photographer.

I did, though, take this picture of the sunset over the Eisenhower on our way home.

Thin Mints

I knew I was in trouble when we pulled into the Jewel lot yesterday and saw the little Brownie Scouts holding their signs high and yelling that they had Girl scout cookies for sale. How can someone walk past those cute little girls, hawking their cookies in the cold and snow? I'll take two boxes.
