      Opps... I keep forgetting!

      1. The Christmas Village in our foyer
      2. The fact that I do NOTHING to set up the Christmas Village (except getting called in for frequent opinions on housing placement decisions)- Thanks Honey!
      3. New Pub and Inn for the Village
      4. Birding Dad and Willa who create the Christmas Day snowfall in the village.
      5. New pictures of the Village - See Below - (I think next year these will be on my Christmas Cards (if in fact I get Christmas cards out next year)
      Village Christmas 2008 (blog).jpg
      Dept 56 New England Village - Set up every year by my husband.
      Church (2).jpg
      Close up of the Church on the hill - note the working waterfall and stream - a gift two years ago from Willa
      Houses (2).JPG
      Our residential zoning hamlet.
      Warf (2).jpg
      The Warf (where it all began)
      Christmas Village (2).jpg
      More houses.
      Most of the pieces have been gifts from the girls or family. Every year we think we could not possible fit another piece - but yet again he managed to re-zone, move some building and we continue to grow!

      To be outspoken when truth is under attack, when charity is being bruised, or when important issues of life are at stake is a good and courageous thing. To be outspoken when nothing is at stake except the feelings of someone else is a small and contemptible thing. ~ Lawrence G. Lovasik (The Hidden Power of Kindness)
