Pam has been busy this last week decorating the Christmas tree. The ornaments are a combination of hand-made and commercial and the tree looks great. Here are a few photos taken during the decorating process:

We hope everyone is getting into the holiday mood.
That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!
Pam’s Two Cents:
All the holiday stuff is pretty much done – cards, decorating, tree. (I don’t bake much in light of Fields’ diabetes.) Highlighted above are just a few of our collected ornaments — hand-made or purchased. The stout branches on this year’s pine allowed me to pull out heavier ornaments that aren’t well supported by lighter-weight evergreens. There is always at least one ornament on the floor every morning.
I started working on a new project. While in the Midwest on the two trips in May and October, I noticed “quilting squares” on the sides of barns in the countryside drives we took. I’m working on my own version of a quilting square for our garage, to go up when the holiday lights come down. Looking at my quilting square will bolster my spirits during the coming days of Winter.

Where are your holiday cards, people?! Support the USPS…
Happy Trails.
Thank you for posting these, Jer. GREAT memories! Was especially sweet to see the ballerina. xx oo
I think Pam received a lot of satisfaction from decorating the tree this year. It is great to see the ornaments on display, particularly the hand-made ones. (I do like my Santa Bike, though, as it was a gift.) Could be the best tree ever, or at least best in a very long time! Thanks for the note.
