COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Yes. The screen shot I posted is what happens when I click home. It's also what happens when I click "Newsfeed." It's like they think I'm a brand new member, and yet the show all the things I belong to.

Unfortunately I hardly ever use facebook.

I’ll post the video but I turned it off because I thought I had ruined it!
But here it goes. I did even get to where I saw the gifts!

Sorry about the excessive tape, Kathy!
It has become a standard joke that our family OVER tapes everything, and packs objects within an inch of their life!!!!
I hope you enjoy!!!!

 

[Kristoff]

Yay, guys, she did it!!!



Come on, girl!

While everyone is awaiting the TORTOISE gift opening party, I though I would share an orchid picture or two. We have had this one for several years, but it is the first time it has flowered.

I believe the cultivar name is Little Stars. It's a Brassavola nodosa or something like that.

That's beautiful!

Bea,
I love the coffee cup!!
That is totally something I would see in the store and admire it but not buy it for myself.
That coffee looks sounds wonderful!! I’ll try it in the morning!!
I’ve never had a beignet but have heard that they are delicious!!
@Moozillion

So glad you like them!

And your kitty now has a Christmas present as well.

 

[Kristoff]

The first thing out is in my favorite color!!!



Is it a good luck charm, @CarolM? (Because that’s who my Secret Santa is, if .co.za didn’t give it away[emoji6])

Daughter wants to put it around her neck anyway! [emoji85][emoji23]

Lol. It is a macrame plant hanger. I made it myself. So you have a little bit of me in your home.

 

[Kristoff]

And the other thing out, which made the package quite heavy, is...



A beautifully illustrated book that we’re reading just about now!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!

Thank you. I am relieved that you like it. I actually wanted to get myself that book as well but it was the last one. I tried sticking to your parameters requested. Being not too big for future packing and your love of photography and books. [emoji3]

It's from Denmark! @Kristoff sent me an organizer!

You’ve said you like calendars and such. And I just love that art impression of Copenhagen, with all the main landmarks in there.
