Thank you for sharing. I'm a reader, not a writer. It's a bit like letter-writing and card-sending you need to participate. So I'm sending my appreciation as you so graciously share during this busy season.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412883417867932819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-1370626957526186492016-12-13T19:50:11.579-08:002016-12-13T19:50:11.579-08:00You're doing well if you have the shopping alm...You're doing well if you have the shopping almost done -- I've still got quite a list. . . but it feels good that we've found some furniture and unpacked almost all the boxes (my, I have a lot of books!)materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-41358448078298072752016-12-13T13:49:38.355-08:002016-12-13T13:49:38.355-08:00Everything looks better from a distance :-)

That man just looks like Paris to me. I plan to o back in the spring. I suppose my visual impression will change with the season.<br /><br />There is nothing like 30 cm of snow and (right now) temperatures of -28 C with windchill to make things feel festive...it is pretty though. Preparations are mostly complete, lots of cooking and some bread baking left...my favourite parts. I like to just give in to the nesting instinct at this time of year. Most satisfying.<br /><br />What are you going to do for the dining table? I can't stand the suspense! Round pedestal with leaves?
