This is my last post for 2014 and it has been quite the year. Starting with Jo's knee surgery and ending with our trip to Peru it has been a interesting ride. We had a great, although short, Christmas break. We went to see the "Imagination Game" which we would highly recommend with great acting, interesting script and it is set during WW 2 (ok that last one is mostly my recommendation). We also took the opportunity to see the latest exhibit at the Art Museum which was paintings from Scotland focused on Italian artists. I always find it fascinating to see what paintings become famous - often simply because someone kept it intact all the years since it was painted, not because the artist was a phenomenally good painter. Before touring the art exhibit we hit a local diner for lunch which happened to have a large cow outside of it - it is true part of the reason we went to it was due to the large cow. It is worth noting that many Wisconsin eating establishments have large cows outside of them - feel free to infer whatever you would like from that.
We spent the days after Christmas working on a Christmas gift puzzle while watching the, seemingly, never ending bowl games. Unfortunately our fighting Illini couldn't pull a win out, but they were close. We also spent a little bit of time going through our clothes to see which ones should no longer be in the rotation for wearing. As Jo bought me five new pairs of pants for Christmas I took the not so subtle hint and did a little reorganizing of my closet.In a final note, one of our orchids has bloomed again (seems to happen every 3-4 years for some, as yet, undetermined reason) which seems to be a fitting way to ring out the old year and welcome the new one.
