the hustle and bustle is left behind in the city. i am thankful my folks bought a house in the country as well, even if they didn't buy one in montana... it's almost as quiet here as it is back home. these past couple days have been spent finishing up some handmade holiday gifts and baking holiday treats. we have made homemade marshmallows rolled in toasted coconut, turtle candies, snowflake cookies, and lots more! today is filled with baking and cooking for the big holiday supper. after which i'm looking forward to settling down by the fire and working my way through jude hill's cloth to cloth class so i'll be ready for the advanced class next week!
i really do need to get out my digital camera when i get home, too. i love my droid but it's photo capabilities are not the best.
meanwhile, i hope you are all celebrating your holidays with love and joy!

ReplyDeleteHi Joe: Hope this is not a duplicate comment of what I "tried" to post earlier : ) just wanted to wish you and your family a happy Merry Christmas and a safe journey back to your Montana home. It's such a blessing to spend time with those we love, no matter when or what season, it makes for wonderful memories : )

thank you, nandas. mom has four different christmas trees in the house, an antique nativity over the fireplace, and a lighted gargantuan garland over the bar. not to mention countless vignettes and wreaths and outdoor decorations. it was like entering a high class christmas shop when i came home! hahahaha
