mining the peppermint

Leonard was grumbling about the added work that always occurred in December. Santa thought some time crushing up the old candy canes would help his attitude.

fallingwater

My black Friday deal, Lego Fallingwater at 50% off. I am not a big fan of Frank Lloyd Wright. He was too much of an egotist for me. And his engineering skills were not great. Fallingwater and other FLW buildings suffer continuing damage due to poor design details.

Bonnie never hosted Thanksgiving dinner at her house. Instead, she got up early and started decorating for Christmas. Seeing the tree everyday was the only way she get in the right mood to shop and bake cookies.

a roof with a view

Not that there was much to view. The sea changed constantly but it was still the sea. Ted was thankful he had a great imagination.

Tom was proud of all that he had accomplished. He built the cabin and the few pieces of furniture he had. He did wonder why women did not want to stay over.

on his own

Jason was more happy for what he didn't have. No wife to tell him what to watch on TV. No mother to tell him to take his hat off indoors.
