It looks like just another lazy morning at Cielo Azul............

But Diana is up early to work on the computer so that she can have the morning free for another big task. This is her usual companion when she is on the computer--Winston perches on the chair pillow behind her back until she is through.............

Today's task is to take down the village, so it is finally "goodbye" to Mrs. Capshaw teaching the children at the Public School.............

And Mr. Bachicha and Grandma on their leisurly stroll....After Christmas is over, a switch of a button changes the Christmas songs being played in the village to plain old-time favorites and so the life of the village is extended past the holidays......

But until next year, this is goodbye to Main Street........

And the piazzas of Europe............

And the splendors of Upper Mistletoe.........

And my refurbished Washington with Barack Obama protecting the country from his White House--next year I am re-locating Washington so that Barack is more visible............

It's also goodbye to San Francisco as that lonely little cable car climbs up past Binky's apartment....

And even the ski lodge has come to a standstill--well actually, it came to a standstill a bit earlier after an attack from a giant Winston. It was just too tempting, all the little skiers looked like mice to him..................

I guess everything can't be put away till next year...........

With our hot dish in hand, we're off to Sisi's Super Bowl party...............

This is Grandma watching the Super Bowl with her 3-D glasses...........

And back home, Winston is multi-tasking. He has dragged his chase toy to his lair so that he can play with his climber toy and his chaser toy all at the same time. What a brilliant son!
