We had a busy but nice weekend.  Saturday I did a
little demonstration for two private clients.  Our
Ohio friends stopped in for a short visit and we went
to a church play in the evening.  Sunday we went to
Chester Springs to visit with our friend Joan.  We all
went to see the movie Brooklyn which was a very good
period piece that was well done.  Then an excellent late
lunch at Four Dogs.  Today I painted while Linda
made chex mix, cut bread for stuffing, mixed three cookies
and made a strawberry jam.  We have 11 friend's and
family for Christmas Eve lunch and 9 for Christmas Eve
dinner so she is trying to get prep work out of the way.
Great meals planned!

Weekend Recap...
Dinner at Aussie and the Fox was very good.  We
both had duck and it was delicious.  Had a really pleasant
evening getting to know a nice couple.
Saturday was spent with friends at Winterthur.  Started
with the museum tour of Tiffany Glass.  Excellent!
Then a good lunch at BBC Tavern, and back to the
museum for a Christmas house tour.  Great day.
Sunday was a work day.  My last show of the year!
We now have a few weeks off from shows.  I will still
be painting and classes start in January.

If you are looking for a Christmas gift or housewarming
gift remember we have a good selection of Holiday Prints
at only $35 each.  We are trying hard to be home and have
the studio open for last minute shopping!
