Dec 25
May the birth of Jesus fill your soul with Hope, Peace and Joy.
May the Beauty of this world surround you.
And may Love fill your heart this Holiday Season.
From me to you,
from my family to yours.
Merry Christmas!
And for those of other faiths…
Happy Hanukkah!
Happy Kwanzaa!
And for those who don’t celebrate this Season…
Have a great day!

By now, you’ve seen most of my house, all decorated for Christmas…
The bedrooms, dressing room, and bathrooms only get a few touches of Christmas, so they really don’t need their own post.
But the dining room…now the dining room is another story.
For a couple of years now, I’ve wanted to put a (faux) Christmas tree in there.
I’ve had the perfect plan.
I’d collected ornaments from Goodwill and garage sales.
I’d picked up a Christmas tree from a friend who had decided to give it away.
But last year, sadly, I was just too sick to get all my decorations up, and that tree stayed in the basement.
But this year…
This year is different.
Without further ado, take a look at my dining room Christmas. A moment of silence to appreciate the beauty…
I could stand here and look at it all day. Especially from this view…
Hello again!
Today brings us to my Front Porch.
Let me explain, before you see the photos, this is the area where most everything gets put when we don’t know where else to put it.
Well…and it holds all the items that I find that I want to do a project with…that’s where it really gets messy.
So today’s post is real…like really real.
Crazy messy, wildly overflowing, perfectly imperfect real. Read more
Northern Minnesota Weather Report:
Cloudy with a slight chance of snow.
With only a couple of inches on the ground, the locals are disappointed and starting to grumble.
There’s open water on some of the lakes, Ice Fishermen can’t fish, Skiers can’t ski, Sled Dogs can’t pull their sleds. Even some of us that aren’t outdoor sports people are missing the snow! It’s hard to believe it’s mid-December and we don’t have at least 2 feet of snow!
However, it hasn’t stopped me from indoor activities…on to the Mudroom Decorations! Read more
My living room at Christmastime!
It’s been a busy week, but I can officially say that I’ve used ALL of our Christmas decorations this year! And that’s quite a feat, considering just how much we have!
Last year my health got in the way of doing much decorating, so a sense of triumph fills my heart!
Today I’ll share pictures of my living room. This is the one place in our house where we all gather and relax in the evenings. Read more
