Ketch-Up Day

 

Finally! Did you think I was never coming back? It's been crazy busy, but things are finally slowing down. Relatives came by train, plane and automobiles:) There were thirteen of us on Christmas Day. We took our last travelers to the airport Dec. 30.  What about you? Did you have wonderful holidays? Are things calm at your house?

Here's a couple more shots from the train, when we went to Philly over Thanksgiving.


 

Our daughter's orange tree. Can you see the green orange?

I'm thinking I need one:) What do you think?

 

As is rapidly becoming a tradition, the Friday after Thanksgiving we went to Longwood Gardens. It was beautiful as always.

That's it for now. More Longwood pics to come. Let me know how your holidays were.  I'm anxious to hear.

I've missed you and am glad to see you checked in. You had a LOT of company over the holidays. I chose to stay home and snuggle with the "boys."

I was blown away by Longwood Gardens. I especially loved the white poinsettia and the tree with snow. They were all jaw dropping, though.

I've missed you and was indeed wondering where you were. The photos are lovely. You had quite a crowd--more than I could handle. It's pretty quiet here.

Love,
Janie

Thanks so much for the welcome and miss, Janie. Luckily, my daughter and SIL took care of the Christmas dinner. Hope your holidays were wondrous.

Beautiful trees. Sounds like you had a houseful for Christmas. And no, I can't see the orange.
