Deck The Halls....

The mantel is decorated...

the lights are in the windows.....

And my little paper houses are all in a row....

Our thanksgiving was quiet and I worked the day after.

we bought ourselves a tablet on black thanksgiving on line and

it was delivered on Saturday. It will be a very big learning curve

for 2 technology challenged people.

The roads were suppose to be bad so no Miss B for

cookie making today so sad I miss her so much.

but better to be safe than sorry.

We are working on the tree and some odds and ends.

I have spent the day watching Christmas movies while

cooking, decorating, and cleaning.

Have a great week! 

Light!

We lost power for 38 hours and oh what fun NOT! By the third morning

I had a melt down poor David went out and borrowed a generator. He got it all

hooked in and the power came back 3 hours later. We are so much more blessed then what happened in New York.We have a northeaster coming by Midweek

so we have kept the borrowed generator for awhile.

So lookie where we went yesterday!!! Oh yeah and I was very very good I bought only

some linen to draw a rug on and some weavers cloth to try needle punch again.

We went to a mansion on Lake sunapee that was decorated for Christmas it was a lovely home

 I was told to come back for the summer the gardens are wonderful.

It was owned by President Lincoln's secretary, he was at Lincoln's death bed.

I was not allowed to take pictures sorry.

I get Maryjane's magazine, this month came it had bread baked in cast iron frying pans

So since I was making beef stew tonight I thought I would give it a try. I will say this is the first

bread I will bake again and again. It was so good. David ate 2 big chunks of it.

Look who came to visit today! I have no idea where he or she came from.

She stayed and stayed and is now perched in a bush by our driveway.

Now I am sitting here worrying about this chicken.:(

****

Guess who I saw today? for those of you who remember Courtney from sassafras and winterberry

She is taking a law course and is on several committees. But hopes to get back to blogging soon. She is still hooking though.

You all touched my heart so much with all of your wonderful comments

David read them all and is very thankful for each of them.

I have a simple philosophy. Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.
