My Christmas Tree 2021
I decided to go very neutral this year since I am putting my Christmas tree up in my dining room. Neutral with the exception of a few pops of blue. I could not have a tree without my beloved blue. I painted a few pine cones with some white paint, wrapped some with jute, used […]

CAPTURING THAT SPECIAL MOMENT BY THE CHRISTMAS TREE
My mother plugged in the lights on her Christmas tree so my grandson could see it. He walked over to it and reached up to grab a light and I managed to get this one shot before eveyone yelled at him not to touch the tree. Since I didn’t have the flash on, I […]

Old Fashioned Christmas
My coworkers took this picture of Mr. Bob’s car parked in front of our restaurant here at Historic Washington State Park. This says Christmas to me more than red and green lights with shiny tinsel. It reminds me of my childhood when I used to listen for the reindeer on the roof of our house […]
CREAMY HOT CHOCOLATE; Freeze and heat later for a quick treat!

Each cup of cocoa is different. Sometimes I add caramel topping, cinnamon, hot fudge, marshmallows, or whipped cream. […]
