Happy Birthday, Mary!

Hi All,
A beautiful snow fell overnight.  I love the new snow.  I also want to wish my girl Mary Tyler Moore a happy 76th birthday!

 Beautiful Mary, inside and out...

 Such a great trio of ladies...

 How I loved this apartment...

 Remember the quilt skirts???

Here is looking forward to a wonderful 2013!

 A small detour, through the window for a peek at our shed...

 The Kitchen...

 The Dining Room...

 Granny and Grandpa's piano and her Mr. and Mrs. Santa Clause.  Also, the tree with my kids homemade ornaments from school.  Especially special on this Christmas...

Merry Christmas!

Home Tour, Part 2

Hi All,
"You had enough, or are ya thirsty for more?!"  I love that line from "Home Alone."  I had quite a few comments that you are wanting more of Cousin Susan's house.  Here is part 2 of the tour!

 The Living Room

 House Tour interupted with lunch at Neiman Marcus.  Aunt Gerry(Susan's Mom came, too!  Can you believe she is 82?~)

 Dining Room

 Another shot of the living room tree

 Family room.  Cocoa has joined the tour!

 Snapped this through the door.  The patio

 The heart of the home, the kitchen

 I love the reindeer cups!

 Kitchen

 Between the kitchen and family room.  Cousin Susan, at her desk

We got to each hold one of the twins.  Susan's niece and my second cousin's twins.  So fun!

 You can see Part 1 of the tour here.
