Happy Holidays




Today it was 26 degrees with a wind chill of 6 degrees so it really feels like winter has arrived.
I thought it might be a good day to finish my shopping and it was quite pleasant. Seems like most people decided it was too cold to be out so the crowds were very slim. No pushing or shoving to get to the sales. One could move at your own pace and not have to hurry.
Grandpa worked at the Friends Shop and he saw very few customers too.


Not a lot has happened here this past week since the bus trip to Austin. I think the saying no
news is good news does apply sooo.... I am sending a few trivia questions and maybe a couple more pictures if I am lucky enough to get them in!!

1. Who was the name of Scrooge's dead business partner?

2. What Christmas food is made from "marsh-whorts"?

3. In which author's novel is it "always winter but never Christmas"?

4. Who wrote the poem, "The Cultivation of Christmas Trees"?

(maybe more pictures next time, I think I need another lesson on how to )

    I failed miserably at the Christmas trivia. However, I do know that C.S. Lewis is the author of #3.
    David and I need to bring the wedding video to you soon, maybe then I can show you my secret to quick and painless photo uploading! (Have you ever seen one of my Photo Dump posts? They really don't take very long!)

    Loved the trivia. I will have to google all of them though to find answers. You took a picture of my favorite bear and I've always loved the Santa.

    I believe number one is a trick question as I think that it was Jacob and Marley... #2 I was stumped, but cranberry sauce... #3 CS Lewis and #4 no idea and did not look it up ;)

    I like this post, Grandma!!! Thank you!
