Mom and Elvis and the Christmas tree

Mom and Elvis shared a birthday on January 8. She was 2 years older than him. I went back to New Jersey to celebrate with Little Sister and Little Brother. Mom was a big fan of Bing Crosby—Elvis not so much.

I probably should have taken down the Christmas tree before I left. I thought a few more days wouldn't make much difference, but I was wrong.

For reasons I do not understand, both dogs have decided it is their dogly duty to help me when I bring out the vacuum cleaner. 

Really Cyrus? Does that feel good?
