I was going to mention that Leavenworth didn’t look like the one I’ve been by, but it’s only a thousand miles away…..and dd grew up in CDA, so I’ll have to ask her about the lights on the lake. More wonderful pictures.

Hi, Texan! It’s always best to go by and not in Leavenworth…the one in Kansas, not the one in Washington, of course….
The entire area around Lake Coeur d’Alene is lovely. Some of the houses are a bit too close to the water for me. I’m not inclined to like water lapping around my back door…LOL! One year my family and I drove around the entire lake. Took us forever.
This photo was taken at an area called Arrow Point.

Good mornin’, Lucille! I’ve never heard of this one. Sounds really neat and it sounds like a lot of people participate if they have “priority pass” option. Coffee’s ready, ma’am.

Good mornin’, and happy Monday. We’re in the home stretch and I thought I better help keep us in the mood. These are harder to find than I thought, but they’re out there. Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee.

Festive caffeine! Good morning T, and thank you. My grandson and I are making this as we speak for breakfast. His dad used to insist that the two of us make orange cranberry bread at Christmas time, just the two of us. It was our special thing to do. Y’all dig in!

Saturnalia – obviously tied to the winter solstice. The first day the sun stops setting earlier and the days start getting longer. Eat drink and be merry for we are not going to all die (right away).
National Date Nut Bread Day – Believed to have originated around Iraq, dates have been a staple food of the Middle East and the Indus Valley for thousands of years. They have been cultivated since ancient times from Mesopotamia to prehistoric Egypt, possibly as early as 4000 BCE.
Forefathers’ Day – Each year, Forefathers’ Day commemorates the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on December 21, 1620. The Old Colony Club of Plymouth, Massachusetts, introduced the observance in 1769. The town observes the holiday on December 22nd

Good day to you, Czarina! I’ll go with “Forefathers’ Day” but I’ll add in “Foremothers” just to keep Massachusetts lefties from burning down the Old Colony Club of Plymouth. Maybe their celebration will include date nut bread along with their traditional beer.
Re Saturnalia, From AI: “To celebrate Saturnalia, an ancient Roman festival, consider these festive practices:
Decorate homes with greenery and lights to create a festive atmosphere.
Exchange gifts, especially candles and figurines, symbolizing light and joy.
Host feasts with abundant food and drink, emphasizing merriment and indulgence.
Wear festive clothing, often including togas or colorful garments, to embrace the celebratory spirit.
Engage in role reversals, where social norms are upended, allowing slaves and masters to switch roles.
Participate in games and merriment, including dice games and singing, to foster community and fun.”

Winter is here. Stay warm and finish up you Christmas chores.

Good day to you, aus! Surprisingly, it’s a dry day so far in our section of the Idaho Panhandle. Weather reports are for rain possibly after 6:00 PM.
Take care and thanks for your prayers. I’m feeling better today.
