So true. I had to go to Tractor Supply yesterday for some fence staples and it was a mad house. So I'm taking your advice and staying out of town until after Christmas.
I was immersed in crowds yesterday but today plan to stay home and bake. Much preferred!
I hope you have a relaxing week as well.
I ordered a new "bridge" camera that arrives tomorrow that I can't wait to play with and learn to use. It's bigger than my pocket point and shoot but smaller than my Nikon, which is so big I never bring it anywhere. I'm hoping the new Panasonic FZ35 will be small enough to go on my travels and walks so that I have it when I need it. Time will tell!
I love that little house. You must share the story behind it one day. It looks old, like it came from the attic of a dear relative. Merry Christmas, Chick!
Cute post, we have no choice over here there's that much snow!! and all our Christmas Day and Boxing Day plans have go out the window, it does have a good side, I'm off tomorrow taking photo's just me, I will take George for a good walk first ;) Jan
Good advice. I'm gonna start running around like a mad woman trying to cook everything for tonight's holiday party but that's fun for me and makes me feel better about all these free days I have! Merry Christmas!!!
What amazing pictures. I love this little house-couldn’t be any cuter. I am trying to take is slow but I’m afraid I’m not doing a good job yet. Gotta get that shopping done.
Good advice. I plan to go to doctor this morning and then stay at home until next year. Sounds rather dramatic but it is true.
Yes, those are two stone carvings I did in black slate. I used to do a lot of this kind of thing after meeting David Kindersley who was visiting from England. He is a master at this sort of thing. I met him at a library in New England where he had an exhibition at the same time I had one there. Sorry to say that he passed away in 1995.
First time visitor to your blog...love it!! I too live in a small town, but less rural, and I adore the pace of life! Glad I found you!! Merry Christmas to you & your family!
I LOVE THIS POST!!! Short, and to the point. and Santa climbing in the window> I love it!! Thank you for the great advice. Christmas wishes being sent your way.. Have a happy and safe holiday!
I am enjoying the last days before Christmas because everything is ready! I loved your post about the orange in the stocking...that's what I received as a girl too...maybe and apple and some nuts...I figured mY Mom just liked fruit!Or she forgot us...who knew! I hope you and your wonderful family has a very Merry Christmas!
Adorable! I wish it were true that I was taking it slow and enjoying. I think I am at he point where it becomes downright stressful (sigh). With that said, Christmas Eve I will be saying to myself that it was all worth it.
This is so cute, it is yours? What a great post. I was out shopping and not enjoying the crowds when I laughed comparing how it used to be in Phoenix compared to here. Then I just smiled and let a woman cut in front of me.
That these last few days before Christmas...
Are not too hectic for any of you.
Take it slow and enjoy the week.
