How was your Thanksgiving? We’ve eaten ourselves crazy! Our son hosted this year. He loves to smoke a turkey and prime rib roast. Our favorite dishes accompany the mains. There is spicy corn casserole, oven roasted green beans with lemon/Parmesan cheese, homemade drunk cranberry relish, fresh made butter rolls and desserts—oh, the desserts!! Pumpkin cheesecake and mincemeat pie along with assortment of chocolate candies. Football games for some while others play board games-always a good day!
December 1: Today is our grand daughter’s birthday! We try to make this day special. Our evening included a hayride through holiday decorated area—
Before the hayride, we enjoyed a variety of chilies and soup. there was Mexican hot chocolate, cookies along with holiday music. A fun day to celebrate this special person!
As our guests arrived, I asked them to hang an ornament on our major tree—a great way to finish up that task!
Time to decorate for Holidays! Psst— already began before Thanksgiving! That’s our little secret! 
This banner is brought out each year to remind me of friends in far away places—ages ago I participated in a Christmas quilt swap. This was my receipt—I don’t even remember what I sent but this one is a treasure. The artist didn’t sign her work, which is sad. Alas, I think of the hands that created this piece of art. I'm celebrating my friends!
We have a small tree where we place ornaments we are given during the season. The snow globe is musical and always a welcome addition to our display!
Our little tree is placed on the back patio.
Only one seasonal quilt—got to do better next year!
