Dear Friends,

Lots of snow and cold in Vermont and (too much) sun here in Key West so Grace and I went to New Orleans for a few days where we spent some time with her “name twin” Grace Mayer and her husband, Reeves, who were gracious enough to let us stay in their wonderful Airbnb apartment right in the city. We had a great time, got to see the Celtics beat the Pelicans, ate way way too much good food and learned a lot about New Orleans.

We have been able to acquire some Apple factory refurbished 13-inch MacBook Pros just in time for the holidays. When Small Dog Electronics was young we used to be the go-to outlet for Apple refurbished product. Nowadays, they’re a lot harder to come by, but these MacBook Pros are perfect. Currently, we also have a good supply of AirPods, which have been difficult to get too!

Christmas down here in the Keys is always colorful with the lighted bike ride this weekend and next weekend the big lighted boat parade. Grace put some lights up on our fence, making us part of the scene. Soon we are going to have a steady stream of family and friends visiting as the temps up north drive folks to seek some relief. I have been watching my cameras at my house on Prickly Mountain and that is about as much snow as I have ever seen in November!

This week’s Kibbles & Bytes Exclusive features the Apple factory refurbished 13-inch MacBook Pros with Touch Bar. This unit has the 3.1GHz i5 dual-core Intel processor, 8GB of ram and a 256GB SSD drive. It is Space Gray and has a 1-year Apple warranty. This week we are bundling it with AppleCare+ for only $1579.99! The stock is arriving this week and is first come, first served.
