That could be our pier with pilings and crossed anchoring chains. Now off to the recently flooded Hallowell for X-eve dinner with the children and grandchildren. Lamb, this summer's mint jelly and all the fixings: my favorite.
Yes, we had a quiet Christmas day too. I made a roast turkey breast, sage stuffing. and asparagus. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve service at the Church of the Messiah (Episcopal) in Gwynedd PA, where I am in the choir.
I noted the penny candy sign because one of my favorite brands of hard candies, some relatively new organic brand, has effectively gone under. I'm a consumer, I always have a bag on hikes to moderate water consumption. While walking around Ann Arbor a few weeks ago with our younger daughter, we went into one of those candy stores that stocks all kinds of old-fashioned products, soda etc. I purchased some 'sanded' hard candy from Claey's Candy, "since 1919 in South Bend, IN." They're a winner, particularly peppermint, lemon, and root beer. Happy holidays!

ReplyDeleteMaybe LLB finally jumped the shark ? This was the first Christmas in our home in many years where no one either gave or received any LL Bean item.
ReplyDeleteSame at our house this year. First time I can ever remember that happening.
