While out for a drive a few days ago, we decided to drive by "the house that we almost bought". Before we found the house we are in now, we found this place. It was on about 15 acres, with LOTS of pecan trees and a pond. We spent a couple of hours wandering around the property by ourselves and went through the house twice with the realtor before deciding it just wasn't the right one.

COLLECTIONS ~ Bob Finds the Cabinets ~ Jeri Fills Them
We bought this collection of dolls at a garage sale in Lexington. The lady selling them cried....and that made the lady buying them cry too.
Mom helping me unwrap my collection of shoes.
When I was a little girl we would visit my mom's Aunt Maude. It seemed that everywhere I looked, windowsills, table tops, everywhere - I saw pretty little glass shoes.
I got my first shoe (the shell covered one on the left) in 1963. My newest shoe was given to me by my daughter-in-law Shelly, it is the cute little red shoe in the middle and on the right are some very special shoes that my cousin Janice brought to me from Finland. I wonder if she remembers them???December 31, 2007
So we have arrived at our winter destination a couple of days ago. We got caught in some snow and slippery roads in Indiana. (Mom was ready to get a motel). We both had some minor problems with our vehicles ~ Bob was in the pick-up ~ Jeri, Mom and kitties in the Envoy. Thankfully we were being watched over and made it through a couple of scary situations without a scratch.
This morning we went out in the backyard and picked up this bowl of pecans.
Pecan pie anyone???
This evening we went out for an early dinner to celebrate New Year's Eve and now we just waiting for the ball to drop. With a couple of hours to go several people in the neighborhood are already shooting off fireworks.

BooMama's Christmas Tour of Homes
Welcome! I am so glad you made it here safely without getting stuck in a snow bank. Come in out of the cold, have a mug of hot cider, and have a look around.
Step into the living room - this year I
have 3 little trees instead of 1 big one.
In the corner I have some of my collection of Santas.
These little trees are in the breakfast nook.

And finally, the dining room where I have more Santas.
So that's pretty much it for this year - thanks for stopping by and a special thank you to BooMama for hosting this lovely tour. Merry Christmas To All!

Chicago
Finally posting pictures of Chicago.
We went to visit John, Colleen and Molly last week. We got to see Molly perform in Schoolhouse Rock - she is quite a talented young lady.

Christmas is Coming!!!
Last night we went to the little village of Blanchard where there is a really neat shop that hosts a big Christmas Open House every year...complete with a live nativity, horse drawn carriage rides, live dulcimer music and live mannequins in the windows. It was enough to put one of us (can you guess who) in the Christmas spirit.
