posting quickly using lowe's free wifi
our power is out - gas furnace, but electric ignition.
we are at lowes in line buying 2 propane vent-free salamanders (one for each level) that can be used indoors and 4 20lb tanks. this place is a mad house - we're all trying to prevent pipes from freezing.
santa needs to bring commercial wet vacs....-28* outside with the windchill. your face freezes walking 10 steps from suv to the lowes door.
pray for us and everyone without power. we are lucky to find and afford/able to buy 2 of these - we have no generators at our home. gonna be a long 2-3 days if power stays off. trying hard to not just sit in the sleigh display and cry. not so meery christmas today. sorry to miss the zoom - will post when I can as we have no wifi either right now, only the 5g and phones . katz

Please stay safe.

I just got home 30 minutes ago and it took me that long to open all the beautifully wrapped presents you sent me, wow!!! I squelched and squealed more than once. Everything is just special, I was hoping to get some of those homemade ornaments you make, spectacular! OK, guys ready for some pics. .
I didn't enclose a card but did you see I snuck in that vintage towel with Silver on it?
The little Christmas pixie is from the early 50s, every home must have them!! Thank you again, love, love everything!
Now, for the others, my heart goes out to all of you stuck in this bomb cyclone, some of my family is as well. Please don't travel, stay warm and safe and Merry Christmas and thanks to @theshoppingmom2 Patty for all you do, it was wonderful.
Peace, Silver

To my Secret Santa,
You are amazing.
Thank you so much for the generous, thoughtful and delicious gifts. (See pic below.) What a lovely, unexpected surprise to receive three packages. They were filled with beautiful things: a dreamy Victoria’s Secret plush robe (perfect fit), a tin of Neiman Marcus famous Almond Pecan popcorn (melt in your mouth), a package of limited edition Tea Forte “winter chalet” assorted teas, a case of mini Dr Peppers, and a hand written note with holiday well-wishes.
“Thank you” seems inadequate to express my appreciation and delight this holiday week because of your kindness. What an apt reminder of the good in the world. Such giving exemplifies what the holiday season is about.
Sincerely, fashun

Merry Christmas! I am glad you are enjoying your gifts.
Yes, I did take special notice of the towel with Silver on it. I hope it is OK, these towels are perfect for rising bread, so will use, but not abuse your gift. I am still using some from my MIL ...given in the mid to late 80's.

That's what I use them for too! I order about 15 of them on ebay and all the girls at the thrift love them.
Oh yes everything has found a home thru out the house including the little 1962 RV! I don't have that one but can show you where I put it..
she right down on bottom in center, getting a little crowded in there I noticed, oh well I love them all. The ornaments are on my silver tree already, piggies are safe and with friends, candle waxes are ready to be used and target bird is with pals he just met.
well now target bird has a girl friend, I knew it! ( he's on the radio)
( can you see the tablecloth? From the 1950s as well)
You have a wonderful Christmas and we both can thank our lucky cactus that we live in the desert!!! Silver

Oh, how cute! You have such a knack for displaying! I put the minis you gifted on my Coca-Cola crate shelf in my workshop.
This has been so much fun, thank you!
