Thanksgiving is next week and everyone is looking forward to family gatherings and fabulous food. The day after Thanksgiving whoever is staying at my home in Sonora always accompanies us to the annual Christmas parade on our little historic main street. We usually grab a bite to eat and a glass of wine at the Diamondback Grill then head outside for the spectacle. Truly, it’s not your usual type of parade. I’ll say no more. Anyway…

Sacramento News 10 has invited me to share some of my Thanksgiving decorating  ideas so I hope you’ll join us Saturday morning at 6:00 and 8:00 for some tips and tricks I’ve learned over the years.

In the meantime, peruse these pictures of last year’s AAUW Christmas Home Tour. It’s my own home decorated up with my Christmas books, Spode china, pine cones, moss, and lots of fresh greenery. Enjoy.
