Gram and I are here visiting. We came in yesterday morning. We stopped for a quick lunch at Subway and then went to check out the Farmer’s Market. It was kind of like a county fair only a much more permanent structure. We spent about a half hour looking through the jam, baked goods, and hand-made crafts. Kate and Pat got their tree there the night before. It is really fresh looking and they said the Farmer’s Market put it in the stand for them too. Sweet!
We came home and Gram and I watched Kate and Pat decorate the tree – then it was a quick nap for Gram and me. Pat let us get Chinese for dinner. It was really good and the place even threw in a free order of Crab Rangoons and a 2007 calendar.
The weather here is so warm. Kate and I went for a walk this morning – no coats! We walked all around the new construction area. Our shoes are covered in red dirt, but it was worth it. We saw some deer tracks and different rocks and generally different / interesting topography.
The project for today is to do a little Christmas baking with Kate. Pat had to head back North for a few days at work -in the office. We got to meet Carol – a friend of Jan’s who is super nice and taking Kate and Pat under her wing. She had a great chat / catch-up session with Gram.
Well, I’d better get back to being Kate’s assistant in the kitchen before I get in trouble. ;)
Nice job on the post, Christine. Sounds like a nice visit you and Gram are having. :)
It was fun on the camera phone yesterday. We finished decorating the tree and it looks splendid.
Have a safe trip home.
Nice posting there, Chris
Hello all you southern belles, we are having a nice visit with PMD, although wishing Kate could have come, too. Glad Gram and Chris are able to keep Kate busy,along with the baking, decorating, wrapping, partying…
Red dirt, ah yes, like dye on your clothing.
I think PMD brought some warm weather thru TFGreen! We’ll take it.
Nice guest blog, too.
