Ready for Santa

 
Allegan had its Christmas parade this Friday Nov23rd, and we host Santa Claus in our store so we had to do some clean out to make space for Santa, Mrs Claus, & Jingle the christmas Elf.  so above is a picture of Santa in the parade, just about stopping in front of my store.
 
Here shows Mr & Mrs Claus with a young lady telling Santa what she wanted.

here is another little one not talking but mom and dad got some pictures of her with the Claus's
 
and last weekend we had a big concert Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas Celtic fiddle and chello
and I did not have internet service except the small cell phone screen so basically no service but alas we are back amungst the real world wireless back up and running, something between the computer and the antenna but dave got her fixed YES!
 
shipped out several sets of chairs that had been done as well as got in a couple sets to cane and rush as well as a set of 4 ladder backs to do binder cane on
 
I had a great thanksgiving with my better halves Lori's family for lunch and went to my brother Bobby's for supper, so I was in a food coma for a few hours.
