Steeplechasin'

This is an Orthodox Church in or near Woodland, MI. I don't know if it is Russian, Greek, or what. There are many branches of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Yesterday started with Zumba class, then lunch and then off I went for my Christmas traditions.
I stopped in at my nephew's. His wife was getting ready for their daughter's 4th birthday party today. Her little friends are coming. They will be having some kind of make-up table. Michelle set it up in their living room which has a white rug. I don't know how that will work out. It might be better in the children's play room in the basement.

I went on to my brother, Don's. He and I went to the cemetary to take the greens for the graves. I got grave blankets for my parent's and for Ted's grave. I also got a wreath for Ted's grave for his mother.
Don brought a wreath for my parent's grave and decorated it with holly from a bush that I had given my mother. The bush came from the Holly Farm in Millville, NJ. They were known for their Holly. The bush is one that doesn't need a male or female to produce berries. It is self pollenating. It was loaded with berries. Hollies did very well in south Jersey. They loved the sandy acid soil. The one I gave my mother did well in the clay soil. Since a lot of trees grew up in the yard, the soil has turned acid. My mother had beautiful rose bushes at on time but they are gone now because of the shade and change in soil. Danny went with us in the car and was so quiet, I forgot he was there. I asked Don if he were there and he was. He usually looks out the window to back at people.

Don got a new Christmas Tree. It was good to see his house decorated again. He hasn't put up a tree since my dad passed away in 1997. He said someone accidentally threw his tree out when we cleaned out the basement. I wondered what happened to his tree. He didn't bother to put one up because the only one who came to visit was me. Now he has a lady friend who helped him decorate the tree. She brought a pretty angel for the top and some pine fragrance diffuser. Don had a star on the top so now the tree has both. He got a lot of new ornaments as he couldn't find them either. We both looked the last time I was there. We found only a few red ones that he used. The tree is done in mostly red and gold with multi colored lights. It is 7.5 feet tall.

We watched the Night in the Museum part one. I left before it was over and got home to see the end. Part two came on at 8pm and we watched it but I fell asleep in the middle and woke to see the credits rolling. I'll have to get it at the library to watch commercial free. The commercials made the movie last until 10:30.
