CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS

As Christmas approaches I decided to use this wonderful snow photo that my neighbor Bonnie took of our mountain house in the snow.

The sky is so blue and the scene looks so peaceful. Not even any tracks in the snow.

Merry Christmas to those reading my blog.

BLOOMING ALOE

Not a great photo but today I discovered my ALOE plant was BLOOMING.

I was amazed when I saw it. LONG LONG stalk with tiny orange buds.

Headed to the Pet Blessing in the Miata

BRANDY IS HAPPY WITH HER NEW JACKET FOR HUNTER KNOB WITH THINSULATE LINING.

ALSO excited about riding to the PET BLESSING at St. Peter on Saturday.

PET BLESSING

Brandy and I went to the Pet blessing this morning.

It was pretty funny as they had singing at this one.

They sang the song about St. Frances and

as soon as they stated the guitar and singing

this one little dog sang along with a yip yip bark bark

for the entire song.

The local petshop had a doggy bag of treats.

ONLY one cat there and a cage of parakeets.

WHAT IS ON THE ARM?

Michael went on a motorcycle trip with Ken and the

guys to the Panhandle this weekend.

We decided a little tattoo would be appropriate.

HA

We tried to find one that said BAD TO THE BONE

but this was the best we could do.

A RUB ON...FOUND it at the Halloween Store on Dale Mabry in the BIKER Costumes.

It looks pretty good for a rub on.

Debbie our niece said HE ROCKS..

SNOWMAN TABLE MAT

My Winter tablemat for Hunter Knob is almost ready.

I changed the original pattern a lot.

Instead of 4 groups of 4 snowmen I only put two single snowmen. I outlined the trees in white so that they would show up more.

The project is from a wool kit I purchased online

from

primitivegatherings.us

HEALTHY MAC AND CHEESE

I tried a new mac and cheese recipe that used butternut squash.

It was good.
