Outright Beautiful Decorations
I’m really getting into the Christmas spirit! The decorations that I see as I’m out and about are just outright beautiful. This is a close-up of a tree in a locally owned restaurant in downtown. Next year, it will be the header on my blog :)
My favorite boy toy and I went to the mall for a while yesterday, getting there early and getting out early. I took a picture of this tree with my cell phone. It is humongously tall!
Since we were there early, we went out for lunch to Maggiano’s before heading home. The inside is so very nice and festive. I have New Year’s Eve reservations there and will take my better camera back.
It was nice though how empty the restaurant was for those first few minutes.
That’s the report for this last weekend before Christmas!
If you’re having trouble coming up with ideas for your blog, check out Sunday Stealing. This came to me from Pam at Mushy Cloud. I think I’ll try the Sunday one next week. I liked the questions and I enjoyed Pam’s answers.
Word for tomorrow – MIND. If you prefer to work ahead, see the list for the week under “A Word A Day”.

Kate – what incredible compliments! I’m honored to be one of the first recipients of your fantastic idea.
I’m so glad you enjoy my blog! Thanks so much.
I will put the award out here and pass it along, but not tonight (I’m too tired).

Love Maggiano’s. We haven’t been to the one here yet. Ours back in MN closed. It’s a fun atmosphere:) Merry Christmas Nancy. Glad I got my honey beat in the blogging department;)
Maggiano’s is great. We can’t believe that we have that & Cheesecake Factory in our backyard. So much closer than having to go all the way up to Edina to eat out. And yeah, your honey knows I’m not a nerd but just not enough of one.
Merry Christmas to you also. I’m glad your adjusting and making the best of these changes.
That restaurant is inviting. I expect to see that picture on your header this time next year. :)
It was very inviting inside – you have that pegged. And yes, that will be my header for next year unless I take a picture of something better!
