Where was I?

We were in Maine for Christmas and that's where I picked

up this incredibly unique advent calendar.

Each of those little numbered doors open up a small

pull out drawer to place a small surprise or treat for

the lucky person that is counting down the days 

until Christmas. 

 

 

I just love the pictures painted on the drawers.

I took a couple closer shots, so that you could

see the details that have gone into it.

 

My oldest daughter, who lives in Maine took me to her

favorite store that always has the best gifts.

Believe it or not it's a hardware store, called Schachts.

I made several purchases and at half price, they were

a real bargain.  I also like the idea that everyone else around

here doesn't have one just like it.

 

Now that they've gotten the bugs out of the new blog look so

I can once again post pictures, and I've had new

antivirus software installed on my computer; perhaps you'll

see me on it a bit more often.

 

Our Christmas trip was great, I'll be posting pictures of the

grand kids soon.  We had two snow storms while we were

there and I took some cool snow pictures.
