White Trash, Advent Calendars, Freya

Friday (12/1) was all about making white trash:

I made 12 runs of it…which was 3 runs more than I was supposed to…but that’s a story for another day. We now have enough to supply EVERYONE who might want some!!!

Except for taking a break to spot my honey while he changed all of our furnace filters…and all of the batteries in our smoke detectors, it was white trash for almost 8 hours…..I was SO VERY TIRED at the end….and SO VERY GRATEFUL that my honey helps me wherever he can :~). I had other company while I was working:

And this being December 1st….we can start looking/drinking/tasting/unwrapping various Advent Calendars….Michael and I sent our own made up, Advent Calendar to BG….

which was the secret project….I can’t post all of the pictures yet (not until the 24th), but she opened the first one:

Michael opened his first door (of caramels):

-and I opened my first bottle of wine:

How much fun are all of these?!?!!?

And friend Anne, who has moved to Florida, put up her first Christmas decoration….new this year….and loves both it (remember the swirly trees?)…and the view behind it:

And more gratuitous, adorable puppy pics:
