Good Evening Merry Tripsters,
It's been a fairly warm weekend so we've been planting bulbs (150 daffodils) that got missed before the snow hit and a corkscrew willow tree that one of our neighbors from our last house took from one of the two trees that were planted by my late Mother-in-law back in 1998. The neighbor cut a young branch, rooted it and brought it by as a Christmas gift. My Mother-in-law was President of the Indianapolis Garden Club for a number of years and loved working in the lawns of all of her children. She and the Mrs. were/are major green-thumb types. The gift was very touching and will let us have a little bit of her Mom back with us. It was 50°F yesterday and in the 40s earlier today, so we got to it while the weather held out. Although a major front has moved in and the wood-burning stove is stoked up and cranking out now as I type. So we're kickin' back, eating left overs and will be catching up on Season one of Game of Thrones. Never had the bandwidth to watch it when it started but Santa brought me the first 2 seasons for Christmas. I hope everyone is well and having a peaceful weekend. Brew
And to you Nick, Karen sends a special howdy to you as well.
Merry Christmas Scott !!!
Thanks Jim! She definitely worked her buns off as usual. She said "back at ya" and from me as well.
Wow she's out done her self. Give her a hug from me and one for you. Lol
The Mrs. wanted to get into interior design but found it way to tough back in those days. Unless you've worked for a studio/house in Chicago or New York it's pretty hard to make a decent living at the high-end. So all of that energy goes into our place. We have 800 sq.ft. of storage in the basement for all of her various seasonal decorations. Always looks like a page out of Southern Living around here. She's a Tennessean by birth.
so festive, brew! mrs. brew's pretty fabulous at holiday décor (along with your support)!
Thanks Reidus! The Mrs. said to tell you she hopes you get better and that your recipes are just awesome. I too am enjoying your contributions. However it's been a while since she made me anything remotely fattening
'cept maybe for cake, pies, candies, cookies, chocolates, butterscotch haystacks and just a few other holiday goodies
Mornin all. Hope y'all are off to a great weekend.
Sorry it's been a few since I've been on. I've come down with a nasty cold and today's the first day I've felt even remotely human since Thursday. I hope to be over the worst by Monday as I really want to get home to NO.
Brew, the house looks great!
Howdy Sun! I too send big {{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}} to both Damselle and Meowzebub. I also miss Brutus and can only hold up the Buckeyes for so long by myself. Tell him I send my best.
(((((((((Damselle)))))))))))
Greeting being sent from Brutus Buckeye!!!!! It was lovely to have a visit with him and he said to tell each of you hello! He's got some nice digs, btw.
Happy New Year, tripsters!!!
