New Addition! (Are you a detective?)

Hi, everyone! Just in case you all are wondering (which I know you never do) Dad was heard from in Africa! He's doing well, and will return to us on the 14Th of Dec. Meanwhile...

Joe plows the driveway. Unfortunately, it rained today and washed all the snow away! :-(...

Roberta took this lovely picture of the woodshed with half it's snow on.

Okay, here's the part for detectives. We've a new addition to our household. He's a very brilliant and decorated person who's prickly on the outside and hard on the inside (Rather nice character, huh?). He helps decorate for and encourages the holidays, though he'll really stick his pins into you if you try to hug him. (Well, needles. Same difference!) I think one the only words to describe his stature are "tall" full". He's rather ... fat. He stares out the window all day, never talks, drinks a lot of water, wears a skirt, and was brought home from a parking lot by Sarah and Joe. Here are some pictures from our files. If you're stumped, his name is at the bottom of this post! Sarah and Joe with Our Guest.

See what I said? He's a very brilliant person. And he's staring out the window, too! His name is Sir Douglas Fir. Merry Christmas!
