We walked in the park this morning and lots of branches down there too. Crews were out in full force cleaning up.
On a brighter note our daughter Sheila invited us over last evening to see her pretty tree and other decorations. This is the first Christmas that she and her son ( our oldest GS) are in their condo.
The tiny stocking is for Stella, the cat. The stocking on the right is one I sewed for S close to
40 years ago.
She served us yummy snacks including the Panettone which I had not tasted before. I believe it is Italian fruit bread traditionally made at this time of the year. I really liked the flavour.
Note to self----- try making it.
Thanks for taking the time to come by.

I'm so glad you're okay and your house is fine. Thought of you when we heard about the wind storm. We're under advisories today and it's scary watching our trees move so much. So far, none have come down.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter's tree is beautiful! And those treats look yummy!
Enjoy your weekend!
Sincerely,
Cheryl
Glad to hear you escaped any damage.
ReplyDeleteYour daughters tree is very pretty. How nice that you got to spend some time with her and your grandson. : )
No power out or trees down here, but many were not so fortunate. It was great to have a calm, almost clear day.
ReplyDeleteThey've had that special bread at our grocery. Is it fruitcake-y?
ReplyDeleteWhoa, the winds were amazing. I'm glad you're okay. I'm sorry for your neighbor.
No, it's not dense like fruitcake. It's quite light and would make amazing toast.
DeleteGlad you didn't have damage, I heard on the news about the wind storm :(
ReplyDeleteOh wow...that must have been quite scary for your neighbor to have that tree top come crashing through his dining room ceiling. I, like you, hope that he will take out the rest of the trees to prevent future damages.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter's Christmas tree and other decorations are so pretty! Her refreshments looked very tempting.
That's a huge tree you have pictured. I can't imagine it come crashing down on you or your home. What yummy treats you were served. I have a recipe for panetonne but haven't made it. Looks scrumptch!
ReplyDeleteA nice evening with family! The decorations and treats look very nice.
ReplyDeleteGlad that tree didn't fall on your house. It all depends which side it is on, where we live the strongest winds come from the southern quadrant. The one evergreen closest to the house is off to the northwest of the house so if it was to blow over or lose it's top, it would fall away from the house. We lost our power for four hours, it came back on just as it was getting to dusk yesterday, so was relieved about that. The internet came back on around suppertime today. No damage at our house, other than a few minor things. Our next door neighbour though, whose power comes from a different line, was still out late this afternoon. Another neighbour lost a huge hedge of 9 or 10 cedar trees, up to 60' tall. They all fell over together onto his hay field. It was certainly quite the storm. It was a shock to see the damage to the White Rock pier. I took swimming lessons at the end of that when I was a child.
Glad you didn't get damage from the storm. I was just reading about the bad weather on Linda Letters blog. Things are so pretty at your daughter's house. She has a beautiful tree. Did she get her baking skills from you?? Sorry I get behind with your posts. Just caught up again. I love your Christmas decorations! Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteI love the tree and panettone is delight, indeed.
ReplyDeleteHi, GM. Your daughter's tree is pretty, and her panetonne looks delicious. I bet you will try making it! I'm so sorry about that tree in your neighbor's roof!! How awful! He really should have them all taken down. Very scary. I'm glad you were spared this time!
