The Baker's home

 


One of the Kachina dolls gracing their home

Yet another kind of lavender, which I'd never met before.


The Baker's home...where they say pumpkins will be given to critters in nearby woods.


The other Kachina doll guarding the home.


Don't you love the new style fireplace? Gets hundreds of channels!



My son and his wife unwrapping their Christmas presents from me...pottery set of pitcher, bowl and matching plate.


About to eat my first Moonlit Macaron, made by daughter-in-law!




Bev, sister of my daughter-in-law is a retired teacher and loves to garden!

My present from D I L a chakra balancing bracelet!

I haven't decided if I feel any different when wearing it yet!

    Haven't stopped by in awhile so didn't know of your trip for the holidays. What a nice spot to visit. Happy New Year!

    That is beautiful bracelet, and a charming home. The RV in front of the fireplace is brilliant! I had to look twice to see it actually.

      Love the bracelet, but it does bite into my arm when I'm typing on computer (most of my time). Funny typo on your comment, I went back and looked for an RV!
