My Kitchen Table

My kitchen table is a Happy place, holding  the new Poinsettia Bob brought home.  Can’t wait until all the leaves are in the table and it is filled with family, friends, and food.  We celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ in our house and in our hearts.  Y’all come!

My sprouting seeds […]
