We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Big brothers cannot always be trusted......
But they do make little brothers think about things.....and wonder....

I love The Advent Calendar that I made for Gretchen and Peter  about forty years ago. It has twenty-four pockets on a quilted Christmas tree wall hanging, and at the beginning of December I placed goodies, promises for field trips, and several scavenger hunt starts in the pockets. Jude, Auggie and I love the scavenger hunts the very best...just as Gretchen and Peter did years ago. This last scavenger was caught on my cell phone for all of you to enjoy.



Give us another clue! This isn't clear!

Sometimes the boys have to do some thinking about my clues and I usually send them all over the territory before they come to the final reward. This was the end of a wet and muddy hunt that led them into the grape arbor, up to the bathroom, down into the basement, and finally out to my car for the prize.







It's narcissus bulbs! Look, Mom! They were in the trunk of Granny's car!





Jude and Auggie and I are sending you best wishes
For a very Merry Christmas
And a fun filled and healthy New Year!

  2. What fun! I love scavenger hunts, but haven't been on one for years. Loved the shots of Jude and Auggie trying to figure it all out.
