Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

Have a happy (or as close as you can) December!

 Nope, no rabbits here this month!

A bit of love on display...the honeymoon by J. C. Leyendecker 1926

Moonlit Macarons on display at Shopapalooza Festival 23, in Vinoy Park, St. Petersburg FL



Barbara Baker, my daughter-in-law was interviewed for Channel 3, Tampa early in the morning Saturday....but they didn't air her clip when I looked on line. Maybe they were saving it for one on Sunday. Barbara started this business when her former business had to close due to COVID. She had organized band events for an outdoor theater in St. Pete until then. 

She's now won some awards as a small-business-owning-woman now!

And if you're around Black Mountain NC, this afternoon/evening is our Holly Jolly event, where shops stay open late and offer treats of cocoa, cider, cookies, candy etc. and a tree lighting in the Town Square and other fun things.

Today's quote:

Paul Klee said, "Art should be like a holiday: something to give a man the opportunity to see things differently and to change his point of view."





Yes, a fall picture of Snoopy and friends...but I just found it and thought how much joy those little comic characters have spread through the years. Thanks Charles Schulz, wherever you are.



The Art of Christmas- This is a painting by Marcel Rieder,1898

Note that it's a bit skimpy, but is a live tree, in a pot! Good for that family back in 1898!

  3. Hi Barbara, Yes, Christmas isn't what it used to be when our son was young or our grandchildren were young. Plus the family lives in Omaha and we live in East Tennessee. Our Christmases these days are quiet and restful but lack the energy and involvement of the 'old days'. Sadly Smoky, the cat shown in the photos, was recently diagnosed with cancer and she had to be put down. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    1. So sorry to hear about loss of Smoky the cat. A dear little one who brought pats and purrs to many. Your Christmas seems pretty quiet, except for purchasing and mailing gifts...
