It reminded me of the past also. I'm reminiscing a lot these days. ;-)

Wow, the tree looks fabulous with so many lights on it. I know you worked hard on fluffing it and doing all the lights, thank goodness you found another strand. I hope Larry leaves the tree alone for you.

I know all about how long it takes to fluff and do the lights. I had to restring my last fake tree when the lights died and it was a real chore. I added tiny fairy lights to this one but will remove them

Thank you, Edith. I am so excited to have family here this week and it will be fun decorating my small tree with my grandson. I told him it was just for him. ;-) Have a wonderful week.

I am sure we do have chocolate coins but my son would not like him having that much sugar. lol He is already active enough. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. happy holidays to you.

Wow, that is an amazing capture of the leaves leaving patterns from the frost. Very cool!

They certainly have a beautiful mating dance. ♥

Hi @kaminchan I am so happy that both of the cats are together once again and having fun adventures together. I love the photos of the garden and the light streaming through. Perhaps you and the cats will

Oh my goodness! This is a great post and your humor about cleaning is fab! I know some friends that have similar robots and they swear by them. I still like to clean myself and find it very therapeutic,

You made your momma proud with this beautiful cake for her. Happy Birthday, Momma! ♥

Thank you so much, I appreciate your sweet comment. I am looking forward to the family coming for Thanksgiving. Usually, we are alone for those holidays. It will be nice to have them here. Enjoy your holidays

Thank you so much! ♥ We are excited to have the family come to NY. The tree is a lot bigger than I used to have and we love it.

Awe, ♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you, @sunshine29 and you have a great week too.

Thank you, it really makes a filling breakfast. ♥

You will like the pickled radish, so easy to make too.

What a beautiful ceremony to honor the river. She made the lotus boats so beautiful and I know if you took the time yours would be lovely too. Peace and love to you.

Naughty squirrel, I bet he won't like the hot sauce. Have fun with your tree, they take a long time to get up don't they?

Thanks, Pam I hope they enjoy what I make for them. ;-)

Thank you!
