The day after Thanksgiving (which we celebrated with Mother at the nursing home - a delicious dinner and a good visit with her and our older son and his bride, and my husband and me) we visited with our daughter-in-law's relatives. Her mother and grandparents had come to visit these relatives, and it was a good chance for all of us to get together. It's an interesting place - a family "compound" with the homes of several family members all together. For parties and large gatherings, they have a "party house", and a large playground with lots of equipment that children love, a deck for enjoying the view of the pond and to fish, an "outhouse" that has all modern facilities, and a real caboose used as a guesthouse! Fascinating place! Interesting people!

Some things at my mother's house, before we begin dispensing and selling them. I wanted to get pictures of how her house looked when she was living there.

Hello Nancy,
It has been so very long since I have blogged that I forgot how much fun it is to "go 'round visitin'." Those owl cupcakes are ADORABLE! Elizabeth likes owls almost as much as Kermit, so I'll tuck this idea away for next year. I laughed out loud about the toilet paper stash! I am running competition with every little old lady I know where the stockpiling of toilet paper is concerned. : D
Beautiful pictures of your wonderful family. Thanks so much for the invite to take a peek and enjoy the joy.
Thanks so much for coming by my blog. I am flexing my writing fingers and preparing to return to blogging more regularly. But it is too late for that tonight.
Take care! : D
