smithbrother Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Thanks to my bride of 54+ years, and 10 days of her hard work, we are READY for Christmas.My wife Sharon is a HOLIDAY lady. I get the job of hauling all the totes out of our basement storage room, then putting it all back in a few weeks. She is very organized. I'm very happy she enjoys all the holidays.Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to othersDale in IndyP.S. The coffee table in picture #1, is 65 years old. It is an original Isamu Noguchi piece. My father was a arty guy, he purchased it in 1949, and is my prized piece of furniture.

TxBuicks Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Dale, I know what you mean. My wife is the same way. But it just wouldn't be the same without all of the hard work. Most of the tree ornaments are authentic Hallmark, and we have collected hundreds of them over the years. My favorite one, though, is a simple ball ornament that my wife gave me in 1979, our first Christmas together. I always hang that one front and center. Merry Christmas to all.

TxBuicks Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Socks are big, but still too small for a full-sized Buick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thriller Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 We don't put the tree up until after Luke's birthday next week. For the last 17 years we've made an effort to keep his special day separate from Christmas. That said, the wreath that normally hangs on the front door hasn't been dug out yet nor has our Advent wreath. The he last few years, ornaments from the Reatta Division have been prominent on our tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Shaw Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 My father will be 93 this Christmas. He and my mother recently moved to an assisted living apartment nearby. So they will be joining us for his birthday in the morning and and for Christmas dinner in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Very Cool Dale. I looked up the creator of you table. http://www.noguchi.org/noguchi. I remember looking at works by A. Calder and being inspired when I was young. http://www.calder.org/ Some of his works were destroyed on 9/11. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithbrother Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Picture # 1 & # 3 shows the 24" hand made tiles, they change colors as you move by such. Note on the floor in pic. #1 the flow from one tile to the other. On the fireplace, I chose NOT to use the flow, it was real fun lifting the heavy tiles up the ladder and into place, but I seem to pick hard projects, hehe. The tiles have lots of metal shavings/dust in such, the copper really shows up when light hits just right. I along with my bride do beat to a different drum, but that is a fun thing for us. Thanks Dandy,Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
