Nativity visitor

Someone has joined the nativity! This arrived in the mail today all the way from Japan......and since I've not been in any hurry to take the nativity set down, she was able to go visit the baby Jesus right away. Love it.
Miss you too Mikayla!

What's wrong with this picture?

OK, this is a scene I observed this morning. - Do you see it?  Do you know what to do about it ?

Can U tell now?  It seems that DH was dusting off the keyboard of his laptop when - OMG - the orientation of the screen was sideways!!  He found out what he'd done and how to fix it.  Do you know how?
 

Mom and Brittney shared a birthday cake. It's Brittney's birthday and a day early for Mom, but she didn't complain one bit!! They were both birthday princesses.

Koster Christmas

  - Hosted by Jeff and Brenda -  I didn't end up getting to go to this due to a very unpleasant virus that hadn't run it's 24-48 hour course yet.  It looks like I missed seeing a lot of people I would have loved to had a chance to visit with.  Would love to see more pictures from the same event if you have any. 

Waffles!

Waffles!!  I love waffles... and while what you see is gone now...(moments after the picture actually) I will definitely have more in my future. 

Thanks to all my kids - #1 stood in line getting the waffle maker on Black Friday, #2 shared her bestest recipe, and #3 put the two together and created a fantastic waffle.....yum

My past waffle maker was way too shallow and just took too long to make inferior waffles.  This is one of those flip waffle makers like this one.  Flip-Waffle-Maker  These waffles are nice and thick and beautifully done.   I'm so happy!!!  Thanks kids!

New Home for an old Favorite

We've had this chair for a while now that was curbed shopped. Despite being an easy project, it took a couple of years to get a new seat (from the burn pile) put on it and this beautiful ivy leaf geranium 'seated' on it. I love the look and the cost was right! $0.00 unless you count the cost of 4 screws! 
   I realize this is the third post in a row that has this geranium in it.  I sure do love it and hope I'll be able to successfully winter it over again this year.  I also hope to get some cuttings off it to start some new plants so I can have even more of them.
