| wine bottle 2014 |
We had a bottle of wine in our garage. I noticed that it was frozen, but didn't take a photo.
Once it had warmed up (from -40 F) I went back to check on the bottle. I found that the cork had popped, without a wine opener. FYI - frozen wine is not recommended, nor is leaving wine in your garage when it's freezing.

In other updates, my phone died. I had wanted to wait a few months before getting a new phone. I hadn't backed up my photos or contacts. One day, I could no longer get it to respond when I typed on the screen. I called customer service, to no avail.
So I have a new phone, which my kids have been asking me about for at least a year. I am not the type of person who needs to get the latest phone or gadget. I suspect it's my midwestern values. My goal, as I age, is to become more frugal, not cheap. So having a working phone is important, but having an exciting phone for my kids is not.
I like my new phone, but I would have liked to get old photos and contacts from my other phone. It's unfortunate that the company's policy is to delete all personal data on the phone when it arrives and to charge the customer to fix it. I won't be shopping there again.

As a family, we got two games for the holidays. I highly recommend both. The first, Set, I first played at the family reunion with chanson. It's not easy, but it's something both kids and parents enjoy.
The second, Rush Hour, was recommended by a friend. (My son played at a friend's party and was hooked). I'm not going to link to places you can purchase the games - I hope you visit a local business or follow a link to support your favorite cause to order online.

Anyway - life is good. I don't have much time to blog (like I used to). I do want to rehab this blog format and bring it into the 2010s. We'll see.
