Christmas Decorations!


After I decorated the victrola with my beautiful figurines (from Dixie - Thank you!) Smudge apparently thought it wasn't quite enough and decided she would add to it!

More Fall pictures


Fall was late. The leaves turned and fell quickly. When we got home from Thanksgiving, this is what we found in our yard! There are still some left to fall, but we went ahead and raked and blew leaves into piles and carted them off. Nine pickup truckloads in all!!

Putting up the Tree!




After we got home Friday night we put the tree up! It's the perfect size! Waited until Saturday to decorate it.

Our first REAL Christmas Tree!





We passed a tree farm on the way to Grandma's on Thanksgiving day and decided we would stop on the way home and see if we could cut down our Christmas tree. On the way home we stopped and the people there gave us a little cart, a kneeling pad, and a hand saw and sent us up into a field of trees and told us to pick and cut whichever one we wanted. I've always wanted to do this. We had a blast! Found the perfect Christmas tree, very full and beautiful! We cut it down, took it back to the lower section of the farm and they shook it and baled it for us. We were as excited as two little kids. We do have so much fun together!!

Sat. Evening Concert


Not a really great picture, I know. Saturday evening, we went to a concert at Calvary Church in Lancaster. The Collingsworths, Lefevres and Ryan and Friends were performing. It was great! Always enjoy the Collingsworths, and Ryan and Friends was a first for us, but really cool. Ryan is a ventriloquist / comedian from the Lancaster area and was awesome! The concert lasted until almost 11:00pm. We were quite tired after having run around all day, but enjoyed every minute of it!

Fun weekend in Lancaster


Friday, after work we headed to Lancaster, PA. After checking in at our favorite place to stay, we went to find food and then went to Cherry Crest farm to a corn maze. It was the next to the last night for it to be open and it was flashlight maze night. It was a five acre field with 2.5 miles of maze paths. I had a blast. My hubby was not quite as delighted as I, but said he did enjoy watching me act like a kid. We were there until closing(11:00pm) and never found our way out! We had to be led out. If I had just had another hour or so, I think I would have figured it out!

Our room at Smoketown Motor Lodge. Called "The Cottage Room" It was really neat! They gave it to us for the price of their regular rooms because it was all they had left.
