It is a bitter cold and blustery day here in the Ozarks…our first real “fall” day…but it is warm and cozy inside!


This is a “family tree” I made with some branches that fell in last winter’s ice storm. I put them in a bucket with Plaster of Paris (I wonder why they call it that?)

anyhoo…after it dried I placed it in this urn. I hung the matted photos of my family along with a few other embellishments. This is what you see when you walk in the front door. I change the look for each season. There are sparkly letters that read “FAMILY NEST”. The kids love to see pictures of themselves, I hope it gives them a warm feeling of belonging.
Here is a funny quote for you, to bless your day…..
“The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.”

Thanks for stopping by for pie, y’all come back now, ya hear?
Hugs!
