After a long walk around my grandmother's back 40, we came upon the spot where my great-grand-parents built their first home here. They cleared this spot, built a house and were beginning to raise their five children when the house burned to the ground one day during a storm. That was over 100 years ago now. They then built a home on the piece of land that I now call `home`.
The old tree behind me grew up in the middle of the foundation.
And we celebrate the birth of the Baby Jesus.
The old tree behind me grew up in the middle of the foundation.
We found a tree that just might fit in our little house.
A Charlie Brown tree for the mouse-house.
Now I know that it is quirky and a little off the mark but well...so's the mouse-house.
The mouse-house is all a glow with lights in the french country cupboard.
And we celebrate the birth of the Baby Jesus.
We miss our Kane so much.
We enjoyed fourteen Christmases with this loyal dog.
Audrey is sharpening her claws as I type.
And she has learned how to fly since we moved here.
I can just guess where she is right now.
Oh joy, the fun begins.
hugs, Deb
