It was a very merry Christmas at the Lazy Vegan!! The sun came out, which made it especially nice. The donkeys got a chance to dry out and we were able to play our annual badminton game! (Not with the donkeys, though). The terriers got new toys (thanks to the grandparents) and even Boulder got some new toy mice...the donkeys got a Christmas walk and I got a clean house thanks to the foreman of The Lazy Vegan- who spent all Christmas Eve. rearranging the kitchen and cleaning! The day ended with a rousing Pictionary game out at the beach house- and Randy drove down late in the afternoon to Santa Cruz to spend the rest of Christmas with his mom and sister. As I type this, I realize that I am alone for the first Christmas IN MY LIFE- it is very odd to think that is correct, but it is. Of course, I am not really alone- I'm with three dogs, two donkeys and a cat!
It was a wonderful surprise to wake up to the possibility of sunshine!
The donkeys got to dry out their wet coats.
