Got the holly cut and the flowers done. 

Love doing this. 

As I was doing the arrangements, I had this picture out and my sweet Mamaw Brown on my mind. I put on Christmas music and remembered how much she loved arranging flowers. She fed us all fried chicken and gravy on Christmas Eve. 

Had lots of good food and fun this week. If I had to pick the best tasting food I had , it would be this shrimp bisque at Char with Book Club. I hope no one overheard our table as we ate it. Moans and groans of pleasure. 

Followed up with veggie plate. Exchanged gifts and took no pictures. 

Except this one of the blankets I gave everyone. 

Best story of the week. Sophie watches an online auction. A large grave rubbing came up, starting at $5. She asked if I wanted it. Well yes. We won it for $45. I knew the words had a familiar ring. Sophie did some research and it is from Shakespeare’s grave! It is old because they no longer allow rubbings of it. I’ll show you where I hang it soon. 

Had brunch at the Patrick’s house. All three girls, hubbies , Ed and I. I was so happy. No pictures just enjoyed our time.
