I have learned a lot about photography being in this Group, and it's reflected in my photos that you enjoyed.

I hope you'll stick around and share your photos with us!

A hearty welcome to DU, and especially to the Photo Group!

Is your husband wearing a car racing harness or are those Big Boy suspenders? (I want!)
And the host - shoes and long socks, a classic fashion statement!

But most importantly - how do you do the unsolvable puzzle?

Let's see if I can answer!

My husband is wearing the Big Boy suspenders!

Our host wanted to be comfortable, and he was!

And for the puzzle? I didn't know how to solve it, so it went unsolved! I am terrible at puzzles.

I have no idea why it should be named "Jenny"! Is it traditional?

The puzzle was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond me!

I think the name "Monterey" indicates where they bought this little boat! That's where they were when they saw it.

Our family is famous for their great decorations! It's always a treat to see what they've done this year!

And you know how I am about sharing . . . it's in my blood.

Beautiful setting and decorations, too. Who put together that table? Wow!

I’m totally envious of that beach view! we did get up to 60 degrees here yesterday which is practically unheard of for NEOhio for Christmas.

Even your pupper got into the spirit!

Great photos!

Our hostess decorated the Christmas table. She always does a superlative job!

It was a beautiful day, weather-wise. Couldn't have asked for a lovelier day.

The pup belongs to my daughter and her family! She was very happy to be there and fit right in, as you can see!

Thanks for your kind words.

Was the wooden puzzle truly impossible, or did you just give up too quickly? Puzzles like that always intrigue me.

It was the best party! We could not have asked for better weather.

I find puzzles generally puzzling! Never been any good at them. I prefer to run away FAST.

Those decorations are indeed wonderful, but no, since this isn't my home, I didn't make them!
