Thanksgiving in my house began with a gift of bittersweet from friends in Connecticut.
Gus in his favorite spot at Daughter Beth's and her husband Gary's house where we gathered for Thanksgiving.
Ten at the table for Thanksgiving. Christmas already in the cupboard behind us.
My Granddaughter Sarah
At my house only the small tree this year, I could not manage the 9 ft one. Next year I will line up more help!
Under the tree are two books of Arabian Nights that belonged to my father when he was a young boy, over a hundred years back now. My sister has kept them safe for years. Last year I bought library tape and helped them to a stronger state.
A little wax doll of about 1850. This type is called Mad Alice for their perky expression.
I made wings for her of cotton batting and old tinsel garland. and she is happy on the top of my tree. Many of the ornaments on this tree are of batting and scrap, some old some new.
The sled was on the dining table for a little while and then the old goose took up there. The goose is usually high on a shelf where I do not get to enjoy him enough. Time for a change.
Wishing a sweet Christmas to all who read here, e
