A Long Winter's Nap

Good evening friends.

Hope the weekend is going good for you all.

Well for those that have been following me

for awhile now, know that in December

I post pics of our home decorated for Christmas.

The posts will be every other day now.

Hope you enjoy our bedroom,

where Tundra sleeps now most of the day.

 

This mitten is special tome because it was my dad's.

I do have the other one, just chose to use one

this year.

This is my newest Santa.

I just added a bottlebrush tree to the sleigh.

Of course the red long johns

need to make an appearance.

In other news,

yesterday we went to my mom's.

Took her to a Victorian Christmas dinner

which was held in an 1870 mansion in her town.

It was decorated with full trees in every room.

Appetizers were jumbo shrimp cocktail and

cheeseball and crackers served with champagne.

Our salad had mixed greens, dried cherries,

mandarin oranges, tomatoes, feta cheese

with a citrus viniagrette dressing.

I am not a fan of feta, but this salad was good.

Dinner was prime rib, green beans with walnuts  

tossed in a cinnamon brown sugar mixture 

along with mashed potatoes and gravy.

My mom had salmon with glazed carrots and rice pilaf.

We had red and white wine.

Dessert was a lemon meringue pudding.

Cherry cordials for after dinner drink.

Caroling songs before and after dinner.

It was very nice.

I was celebrating my 65th birthday

and we decided my mom would love to go....

and she had a good time as we did too.

We are finished cleaning out Bob's dad's place.

Many boxes are in our living room.

Not sure what we are going to do with this stuff.

Neither of us want it, so will just go through

and decide then what to do.

Winter's Nap Blessings To All!

(I needed a nap after last nights dinner LOL)
