We were pleased to have a good turn out at the service in town as we need to remember all our brave soldiers. We are thinking particularly of our Dads today(both my Dad & Andrews were over sea's in the Second World War). But, I also think of my Mom who lived in an occupied country(Holland) and lost her younger brother plus lived in fear for many years with food shortages and little heat in the winter. I think there are many things we take for granted when we live in a wonderful free country like Canada!</div></div><div class="mobile-photo"><div style="margin: 0px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5TyevqNsSX7EB0M8rkkOYm2gth5DZVrIH12T1sKO17Nif6VZM2xSHYI901XV3uIws_dDXGE1IC8T94y8MIVfePF6B1TANhgsah3YSbH6O-UVVCkTuxd2DhqSz-nrquLtzj4JJiJQjdprb/s1600/blog63-720057.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538112168248792114" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5TyevqNsSX7EB0M8rkkOYm2gth5DZVrIH12T1sKO17Nif6VZM2xSHYI901XV3uIws_dDXGE1IC8T94y8MIVfePF6B1TANhgsah3YSbH6O-UVVCkTuxd2DhqSz-nrquLtzj4JJiJQjdprb/s640/blog63-720057.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="margin: 0px;">  I made some hot chocolate for you to keep you warm inside!</div></div><div class="mobile-photo"><div style="margin: 0px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYA76pJM7Xpmo2ghi88qQ9usnwhE0Jx7IbQhIngY_DyCrgUAWeLVKMOvEg6YZlAK9rx_3lzwODzsBtfED5lD2zGSE8C7NQtsJdNes-yGaX6HRX_PmP2Y6gzhLWU5NPap2c9AznpH-UTZKe/s1600/blog69-721426.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="492" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538112171952955250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYA76pJM7Xpmo2ghi88qQ9usnwhE0Jx7IbQhIngY_DyCrgUAWeLVKMOvEg6YZlAK9rx_3lzwODzsBtfED5lD2zGSE8C7NQtsJdNes-yGaX6HRX_PmP2Y6gzhLWU5NPap2c9AznpH-UTZKe/s640/blog69-721426.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div>  Well, now that is it for me but if you go to <a href="http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">Between Naps on the Porch</span></a>  you will see all kinds of beautiful tablescapes that keep me ever so humble!

I have not done a White Wednesday for awhile but I am joining in today. A couple of days ago my husband and I did a little work on the little cottage. We put some insulation in and put some pine boards on horizontally over the studs. I wanted to give it a more finished look behind the mantel and the small electric stove.They had a sale on the pine boards at Home Depot so we got started. It didn't take long so I slapped a wash of paint on and then we put the old mantel back on with the mirror over it.<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="mobile-photo"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
