We had a nice Thanksgiving. We were at the Gilberts. I brought appetizers, and fancy cookies to the feast and Michael L. family had most of the main meal. I made a veggie tray in the shape of a turkey ( yes it did take longer than you think). I made a cranberry/orange salad with Quinoa, which was quite good. I also had puff pastry and Brie as well as a cheese and meat tray.

I have to make my Christmas Eve reservations many months before the day and probably for the same reason. We are at the "Over the Moon" cafe in the historic part of town this year. We are meeting friends at the hospital Tree festival tomorrow night, so we are going to take Mom there since she will be visiting with us. I pick her up at 8:00 a.m. and then go to Bellevue for our first of at least 4 trips to the eye office.
I agree with the freedom of shopping online. I hate standing in lines, although I do enjoy the hustle and bustle of people with Christmas music in the background.
I have the same color theme in my house that I have had for year.... I am a big "after Christmas" shopper and since I chose Red and Gold years ago, I have lots and lots of pieces to throw together.
I took this picture when I finished decorating on Sunday night. I am generally a lot slower, but Mom arrives tomorrow so I had to be Johnny on the Spot. Thursday she has her eye surgery, Friday we have a checkup followed by a luncheon at her cousins. Saturday we have a pedicure and we have tickets to see Leischen in Anne that evening. Sunday morning we are going to Michael and Christine's concert in Belleuve again and then over to his house for lunch and a late 90th birthday for Lila. We come home that evening and go to my friends for a cookie exchange. We are talking about going to the Zoolights and a possible drive to the Bavarian town of Leavenworth. She thinks she is going to go shopping.... but I am not sure when.
Zoo lights is done by the Tacoma Parks. All these organizations get together and make scenes on the Zoo grass and trees with LED lights. The colors are fabulous as well as the cute animals, ponds, arbors and other lights that are displayed.
I did manage to decorate my office door. I could hardly not, they have a yearly requirement of door decorating. It was today or never. I settled on a theme of little angels decorating my door. I think it turned out quite cute. No other news. Maybe after mom is here for a couple of days and we have been to Leischen's show. - Love Larkie
