Decorating for the Holidays

Our steel deer head from The Steel Fork gets in the holiday spirit.

We hope you've been having a wonderful holiday week and finish to the year. Tim and I were both able to take a little time off to celebrate Christmas with our families and are enjoying getting a few little things done around the house that have been in the back of our minds to cross off the list.

The "JOYS" of dog ownership...

Over the weekend when Mary was pulling down her craft basket from the closet in search of her glue gun for making the pine cone wreath, I noticed this beat up little carrying case and asked her what was in it...

Weekend Basics


We awoke on Saturday to the sounds of the Christmas Parade getting started down Broad Street here in Richmond. Is it bad that I watched it from the TV rather than making the couple block walk over to check it out? Yes it is. Here's to making up for it this time next year.
