In between the parades, artist shows, farmers markets, and preparation for all things holiday related, there has also been time to delight in the unexpected, enjoy the snow, and start on the annual making of "snacks".
A Quail plaza Christmas dinner celebration was also held.
One of the best times of the holiday season. Our meal and service at the Capital Grille was exemplary. The company unsurpassable. Truly.
On a slightly less extravagant note, an old wreath was placed on the chair that came out of Aunt Alice's garage in Russell Kansas in 1996 and has lived on my front porch since. The annual bottle of eggnog was also purchased and on each day I am off I sit by the fire sipping it and my coffee. Always side by side. Never mixed.
One glass limit per setting. Usually.
The St. Francis sitting by the chair from Aunt Alice's garage is everything to me.... we always, always had one and it moved with us from one home to the next. One of the constants among all the chaos. My 92 year old mom still has it in her yard. Memories......

In our house there's a discussion going on about the first picture here. The Why, the Who, the When of TRY WRITING CURSIVE.
I know it's a busy time but could you spare a moment to explain this, please. It's getting to us.
You've had snow and there are bright red birds in your garden. We have torrential rain and the birds are not at their brightest, colour-wise.
Happy Christmas preparations!

Chrissy: it was just a random bit of writing on a building downtown which is what made it so interesting. It wasn’t a specific business or advertising or anything. Just someone’s idea of a good thing to do. Which is why it was so great.
