Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
in a galaxy far far away?
Smart aleck...
You know that other thread...
It's a train wreck. I can't stop watching.
Great tree!! We'll put ours up the weekend after the two older boys get home; the 18th-19th. We like to leave ours up through Epiphany, so we don't want to put it up too early. We got an artificial tree about 9 years ago and we love it! When we remodel and have the new tall ceilinged family room, I'm getting a 9' tree! Woo Hoo! I'm going to put the lights and ornaments on it, and when Christmas is done, we'll remove the ornaments, leave the lights, and just take the tree down to the basement still assembled! I'll cover it with a big piece of plastic and not have to re-assemble it every year!
Well, they are the cutest kids in MO!
'Grandmaneighbor', I love it! It's great your kids have some older folks with whom to spend time.
My mom always wants an artificial tree, but we veto her. It wouldn't look right in a log home.
I just hope we can find a good one when I get home! They're waiting, but I'm not sure how many good big trees will be leftover by that weekend - same one as your boys.
Train wreck? Ain't I invited?
My wife raises that possibility periodically as well. My kids count on me to stand like a rock on that one.
Your parents live in a log cabin?

Hint: it's the 200+ post thread about Japanese women looking for American husbands.
"Cabin" is possibly a bad description. "Log home" is less likely to convey the incorrect impression of hovel-like surroundings.
It's just a big house made of logs. Very pretty.
Wow; how cool is that? Love those. That might *just* satisfy my love for rustic, wood decor.
Dan
*yawn*
Ours is split-logs. The outside half are cedar, and the inside half are white pine. There's insulation in between. Very modern yet rustic... we have a cathedral ceiling in the living room.
My parents were always going to have a log home built, but then ten years ago they found this one just standing empty - the owners got moved for business - and it was perfect for us.
Oh, something I did notice about the Army Navy game...the commercials were decent! Nothing stupid or tasteless! I was pretty amazed.
He's still dead Jim.
Heh!!
I'm here...giving Matthew a spelling test.
I was in a meeting...now it's gone on so long I'm probably hopelessly behind.
Maybe that's a good thing.
I think you'd be surprised just how nice they look. When all the lights and ornaments are on it, you cannot tell it's a fake! Hang a couple of balsalm or pine scented ornaments on it and you'll even get the lovely smell of Christmas, too!
Speaking of wreaths...well, sorta...
My s-i-l brought us the neatest gadget that she picked up at the dollar store. It's a magnet wreath holder for a glass storm door.
We had the wreath on the inside on the regular door and between the glass. But this puts it right outside on the glass, with no unsightly wires or lines.
It's vey cool...
Nifty!
I've got a HUGH lavendar bush...I'm thinking of trimming some of the boughs off it and making a Christmas spray of some sort and putting it up here in the house somewhere...it would make the house smell lovely!
