We recently upgraded to a 4K /Dolby picture TV for the Living Room. (Thanks little tax return!) The new TV is slightly larger than the old one, but seems much larger because the entire face surface is the screen – no trim. I can’t believe how amazing 4K looks compared to just HD. You’ll have to take my word for it since it doesn’t come across in pictures. The best way I can describe it is that everything with 4K properties (movies and TV shows) looks like it’s being filmed live and almost 3-D. Just amazing.
We also got these swanky new matching giraffe throws.
Did I show off our new recliner in the bedroom yet? We just got the new footstool this week. Love the colors and the size.
I had to upgrade my copier/printer/scanner. My old one was a Canon , as well, which worked great for years – until it didn’t. Since I work from home for the duration, this is a critical piece of equipment. This new Canon is supposed to be the most compatible for a Mac. So far, so good.
We also have some new Gin concoctions. My eldest brother sent Jeffrey a couple of infusion kits for various holidays, so we finally cracked open the kits and infused some gin. Here are some of the flavors we used/blended:
Juniper Berries
Coriander
Lemon peel
Grains of Paradis
Angelica Roo
Cubeb Berries
Blue Tea
All this stuff is so grown up, so I needed a new whimsical something to balance it all out. This is what I decided on:
And, while Rita Mae is not new to the house, this sleeping position of hers is!
Idle Eyes and a Dormy 
Terrific additions, especially the giraffe pieces! 🙂 Naked hugs!

And seems just like yesterday it seemed we all though HD was the best thing since sliced bread. How quick we get spoiled and move on to the next thing right?
And I’m adoring those pillows!!!!!!!!!!!

I’d have been fine sticking with our previous TV. Jeffrey is the driving force behind the latest and greatest tech. To be fare, he did wait a whole year after deciding he wanted one to get one.

Is today Hat Day on the blogosphere? It looks good on you, albeit a bit understated.
If I did not know better I would have assumed those throw rugs were nearsighted cows. (Heresy)

If I didn’t do things understated…I’d be so over the top it would be illegal.
Cows are cool, too, just not as cool as giraffes.

OMG Rita Mae! I’m glad you prevented her from tumbling onto her head.
The chair and foot stool look really good with the paint color, too.
I’m not sure what to say about that hat. It feels like I should comment, but words escape me.

I love the giraffe throws. Since you have a recliner, why do you have a stool there. I do like the colors.

Good question. The chair is a perfect size for that corner, but there’s not really room to recline. It just happens to be a recliner. So we got the footstool. We could pull the chair out to recline if we really wanted to. Plus, I love the look of the orange stool with the yellow chair.

I must have been living under a rock. I have never heard of gin infusions.
I have a Brother printer and for some reason, it is no longer picking up my WiFi. It picks up the neighbors, almost all my neighbors, but not mine. Sigh. And it works on WiFi in order to print. It’s not even 3 years old. Luckily I don’t need it that much. Sigh.

It’s just putting flavored herbs in a jar, pouring gin over it, and letting it sit overnight (or longer) to let the gin absorb the flavors. Nothing fancy or complicated. You can do the same with vodka.

I’ve had vodka infusions made with fruit, like plums and cherries. Very yummy!

I’d wear the hat to the next Zoom department meeting. Maybe I should declare next weeks staff meeting silly hat day? I bought a Canon PSC last summer, it works well.

I love the new additions, and I agree 4K is something else. It’s why I love my PS5.
How long did Rita Mae sleep like that without falling? That takes talent.
