When I went to get ornament hooks today, the store featured artificial trees in hot pink, lilac, black, white and aqua!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172029625828982319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828307270320034323.post-52119034145155198382012-12-08T00:45:07.634+01:002012-12-08T00:45:07.634+01:00I'd remembered awhile back reading something a...I'd remembered awhile back reading something about Carcassonne, so I looked it up--A true monument of stone and manpower! ~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828307270320034323.post-88146120635890354182012-12-07T20:33:11.358+01:002012-12-07T20:33:11.358+01:00Sympathy with the crowds....SHE spent a New Year&#...Sympathy with the crowds....SHE spent a New Year's Eve like that once.<br /><br />XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & RoxyBella Roxy & Macduihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268052368797347239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828307270320034323.post-73348846077106739682012-12-07T20:32:15.635+01:002012-12-07T20:32:15.635+01:00Love the photos of the castle ramparts from your h...Love the photos of the castle ramparts from your hotel window??<br />Stay warm...hope you packed the sweater with the bear in the front..smile.VirginiaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282569773671179047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828307270320034323.post-70821879767709130302012-12-07T17:43:29.971+01:002012-12-07T17:43:29.971+01:00Are the old town walls floodlit?
