Only 5 days into 2017, and would you believe I've already missed one daily photo? Good grief - time really does get away from me. Today we're busy getting last-minute things done for tomorrow - our friend Pete is coming from Columbus to stay for a few days - and Saturday, when we're hosting an indoor tailgate party to cheer on the Youngstown State University Penguins as they seek another national football title. Crossing my fingers that I don't forget anything, the food comes out of the oven at the right time and that the 'Guins win!

BTW, I'm a collector of all things cat - this is the clock in our dining area.
