It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

…..despite the lack of snow people are getting into the Christmas spirit

While walking in the dark a few nights ago I decided to take some photos with my new iPhone. Before you think I splashed out on the newest version, I didn’t. These photos were taken with an iPhone 6.

Square Sky Challenge – Crane

…..thanks to Becky B. for hosting the Square Sky Challenge in December

On December 8th my husband and I drove to Hamilton to see our daughter. Our granddaughter loves to the crane that towers over her head a block over from where she lives. She loves it best when it moves but today it was pretty quiet on the construction site. Today’s photo managed to capture some blue sky which we haven’t seen too much of in the last few days.

Hamilton’s Children’s Museum

….thanks to Norm for hosting Thursday Doors

Earlier this week I drove to Hamilton and took my granddaughter to the Children’s Museum. Housed in an 1875 farmhouse in beautiful Gage Park, the museum was once home to Hamilton’s Gage Family. It has been providing family-friendly learning opportunities to the public for more than 30 years.

Unfortunately we went on a Tuesday and in the winter the museum is closed on Tuesdays. I half expected Winnie to have a meltdown but she surprised me and started to run around on the grounds through the leaves and climbed on top of the giant anchor that is prominently displayed in the gardens.

When she got tired of doing that she wanted to sit in the car and play with the buttons on the console. I finally convinced her to go back into her car seat and we drove to Denninger’s Fine Foods.

Denninger’s is a wonderful family owned deli that sells delicious European delights. Winnie loved the samples and she was intrigued with the very large Nutcracker that guarded the front door.
