GINGERBREAD MEN! IT IS THE SEASON!

 We left Florida on Monday morning.  The trip was an excellent drive, coming north on highway 65, through Bowling Green Kentucky which was a lovely lovely area.


We arrived in Whitby in time for the Gingerbread decorating fest.


It was a great fun night and amazing how different each person is in their ideas of
decor.

There was a bit of dilemna as to who could possibly taste the creations of the decorated men as the amount of icing was only left to how much one could control the piping coming out of the tubes.

Oh, Jeremy, you taste it first!  He did and thought it was yummy stuff.

A lot of time was spent by the boy decorating his man which is the one with the least amount of decoration on it.  Who knew?

On a different note, here is a photo of happiness personified.  Me with the dog on the beach in front of our villa.  The weather was fabulous for December and the dog actually loves the beach walking.

We are returning in January to finish our stay at this place.

Just a photo of how great it is to travel with the dog....the photo is of his favourite stance in the car.

He slept all the way home.  Only awakening when we had a pitt stop or parking for the night.


Truly easy for both of us.

So, dear friends in blogland, Merry Christmas till I connect again in the new year.

We are all like friends aren't we?  We may never be face to face, but it feels like hugs just the same when comments are posted on our sights.  It usually makes my day, so I hope that I'ves spread a bit of cheer throughout the passed year, and that we will all get together again in the next year.






Again, Merry Christmas to all of you and yours.

Merry Christmas to you Nanci, I didn't realize you were going back to Canada for the holidays, how long will you be in Florida when you return? Is the pink house the one you are staying in? It looks great. I love the overlooking veranda's.

Nanci,
Wonderful to see the decorating of the gingerbread men. I love J.'s minimalist approach. You look ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! What a great photo.
I'll give you a call later today at Mary's. It's a zoo around here but in a good way!
Looking forward to seeing you and your "Sweetie" next week. Andrea will be here until the 30th so you will hopefully see her as well.
Until then, Merry Christmas Dear Friend!
Helen (Your P.T.)
