That pie does look scrumptious. Glad you had a good Thanksgiving.

nice tree and the price is right.
wow...$75 for the balled tree. sadly at some point we need to draw the line...I hear ya!

I usually buy a live tree for outside in front of my picture window to decorate. Not this year. Cutting a scrub pine from near Tony's deer stand and decorate it. I will be going tubing in the snow with Nicole in the mountains in a few weeks and would rather spend the money there on fun vs. a xmas tree...LOL

sounds like your DH is in for a great holiday season! It makes me smile to know people enjoy Christmas so much, I do too

What a beautiful place! Our place is an 1870 farmhouse!

Keljonma, I agree, thank you god for my four healthy children. And so far, the three healthy grandchildren. I loved the message. Just need that reminder.

Thanks! Old houses have certain charms and quirks, don't they, lupinfarm? The first floor is original lath and plaster, but the remodeled upstairs is all drywall. The bathroom was added about 1910; our clawfoot tub is original, but the pedestal sink and commode are replicas. We have added a bit of insulation every autumn for the past three years that we've been here.

Our downstairs is lathe and plaster in the office and bathroom, drywall in the kitchen, and err something in the living room, we have an original 2inch thick tongue and groove ceiling in the living room. Upstairs is all new drywall and insulation, little tiny bathroom up there which was added in the 80's, original wood floorboards, painted white. We're in the middle of renovations (it was a fixer), we've got 3 bedrooms upstairs, all really nice and big with sloped ceilings (1 1/2 story house), plus the office is our +1, and then the extension off the kitchen is the master bedroom, no ensuite..... but it has a laundry room LOL. Half the house is double brick, the other half frame (brick in 1870, frame built around 1880, started off life as a 2 up 2 down regency cottage).
