  • Ok I'm jumping all over the place in this video but I did warn you yesterday!
    I included the footage of the New Jersey country side because so many folk may have a misconception of my home state. It's not all turnpike, crowded cities and tawdry billboards! My old hometown was founded in 1675 and it's still a rather old fashioned place even today. I hope you enjoy spending a little time with me as I run about the place enjoying family, friends and a bit of thrifting!

    Well, you certainly looked dapper in your hat and jacket! Those lovely houses are so big. I'm in Houston and the big houses are really only in the more wealthy areas. But where you are is much older so the houses would be bigger, I guess. I would love to have one of those big old homes! I'm the same age as you and my mother sang in a choir for as long as I can remember. She recently had to stop due to dementia. She just couldn't keep up anymore. Thanks for the ride-a-long and all the sights and sounds.

    Those little Angel carolers look as if they had too much Christmas pudding to eat and have a stomach ache. Good thing I was not at that thrift shop in person.

    I loved the hometown visit. I too was born in what used to be a small town. The hospital I was born in looked like a small brick house from the 60s. It was tiny. I was the only baby in the hospital. And, the doctor that delivered me later became an oral surgeon and he was also the doctor that removed my wisdom teeth. I miss small town life...sometimes.
    Also, I have to admit, I laughed out loud at the figurine in the short pants and red shoes. I guess he was on vacation when the star appeared. 🤪

And since letting her eat her dish of choice, she looks and feels like a winter hand muff of chinchilla!

      We spent a good deal of time in that particular house (now a bed and breakfast) because my mother grew up just a few houses down the street. She has fond memories of the 1950's when she would visit the "old couple" who lived there at the time. She particularly remembers the large open fireplace in the kitchen and being served hot chocolate when walking home from school. The house has new owners now and it was turned into a bed and breakfast several years ago. The couple who own in now have restored it beautifully and it looks much as it did in the early 18th century.

I love home tours, and one of my favorite things to do is tour the Homes in the Fan District of Richmond, Va. I also love to visit the Jefferson Hotel there at Christmas time. Seeing Salem approving the Christmas decorations was especially nice. He's a good boy! (Santa, did you hear that?)

Just as I was thinking “what the..?” your comment popped up. And your sweet mom “with the white hair”...you crack me up!! Great place to grow up!! It was beautiful there. Also....you could have put the baby Jesus back with the nativity next shelf over....just sayin’😉

Nothing smells better than a old enchanted library.... I like this video, its nice to see places and traditions from history that we don't get to see in other parts of the country, because they are not as old, And can claim Victorian era status, but not Colonial, as where you are.. but?..it made me miss my little Queen Anne farmhouse in Colorado, I can't wait until this current stay here in St. Louis is over..
