A Bit of Catch Up — So Behind

 Catching up with sharing an interesting event we had in December.  Our church, St. John’s Anglican Church, is a historic church in a historic neighborhood called Ryan Place.  Each year the residents of Ryan Place host a tour of a few of the historic homes in the area and, as it is in the big middle of things, our church is one of the focal points as is the historic elementary school across the street.  Our church hosts tours of the church, we have a tea room whose proceeds go to the youth group and there are pop up craft shops in the parish hall selling their crafty wares.  Now, mind you, I went to the tea room and enjoyed looking at the crafts but I did not walk the neighborhood because I hadn’t taken Lilly with me and it is too much walking for me.  So the photos are compliments of my daughter — she loves photo journalism and she is good at it so I will just steal her photos — with her permission of course — so enjoy!






My daughter did the tea room sign — twice because the first time it got ruined by the rain — and the Positive Potato found its way into Bean’s Christmas stocking.  I wish I had bought one for myself so I am going to track down the expert crocheter (is that a word?) and get one —if they have any more, they were popular.

So, it was a great day for the tour and it was well attended, our youth group did well with making some money and looking forward to next year.  And again, photo credit to my daughter, B Wilcox and thank you!

Thanks! Daughter does a great job with pictures. I would have like to have seen the houses but I am too crippy and honestly it was really crowded.

Hello BB! I love to snoop around tour homes! I bet you could watch some YouTube tutorials and make some positive potatoes!

Hi Pom Pom! If I could crochet I would SO be making me a positive potato! I think it is delightful. And yes, going into those houses was fun from what I have heard!

A New Day, a New Year and Apparently a New Generation

 Happy New Year, all!  I don’t know about you but I am well and truly glad the boom booms are over.  This is what it sounded like behind my ...
