My Advent Calendar

December 7th 



I used Shutterfly to make this ornament after our two week vacation in Scotland in the Fall of 2017. The apartment we had through UnTours was in Dunblane and this was the cathedral there.
Here's a link to my blog post about this cathedral. 

Lots of good memories from that trip.  It was our first with UnTours.

We especially enjoyed shopping for dinners at the butcher shop which had these meat pies for sale.

Today would have been my Mother's 107th birthday.  She managed to live to almost 95.  Miss her every day.  I'm sorry that none of my granddaughters never met her but I've made a point of telling them about her.

Here she is surrounded by her art work in the last months of her life.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

First, a lovely tribute to your mom! What an accomplished talented woman, and I'm so glad you're telling your young women about her life. Thus ancestors have part in their lives. (Reminder for me to do that with my grandchildren too!) And next, love love love your Christmas ornament!
