Our newest collection are Doorways around the world. Last year it was a doorway of Germany. How appropriate with my kiddos in Germany.



This is the top of mother's hutch with a few items.








My nativity set that I made in ceramic class over a decade ago.








Our collections of Mary's angels. I think this is the 21 year for them.

My downfall is I have too many collections...... Winnie the Pooh, Angels, Santas, oh well





This is a good as it gets this year. We do have the village up in the patio room. My girls wont' make it home this year and we plan to leave shortly after Christmas to go to Ne.

Winter is a few days away but the temperature here feels like the dead of winter. I have worked all day to keep the fires going.......... even burned my arm on the door but the wind keeps the house chilled.

Due to the ice most everything was cancelled today. Mom and I just stayed in doors. With the wind I think they said it was a -1. Burrrrrrrrrrrr... more snow tonight. However, I managed to get to the mail box but it was dangerous. Our driveway has enough of a slope and tennis shoes do not grip the ice.

Roger is in Ft. Cobb, Ok and he said it was very cold there. Hope he has enough clothes.

Malinda's hubby Greg turned 30 today. When the third generation is over thirty we all must be getting us there huh? HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREG..... WE'LL celebrate with you in about 10 days. Charley will be one on the 18th of December. Mary's hubby, Mark is 55 on the 20th, Christopher, Roger's youngest grandson will be 8 on the 21st and Allie's Roger is 56 on the 22. Last but not least Aunt Marie will be 91 on December 31st.

Looking at the calendar I seem we missed Amanda's 32 and Grace 11 on the 6th. Don was 47 on the 9th and Cammerin was 6 on the 11th. Happy Belated Birthday to all.
