War Time Christmas * Saturday at the Cottage

Good times today at the War Time Christmas Cottage.

  • Our WWII Posters jigsaw puzzle is almost finished!
  • A visit to Holiday Inn reminded us of some greatest (Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby) and worst (blackface performance) aspects of entertainment on the 1930s and 1940s.
  • Our little War Time Christmas tree got more decorations. Check out pictures of our homemade candy ornaments!
  • I traveled out to "Switzerland" (that's code for anywhere not part of our War Time) to celebrate the graduation of one of my grad students. Amanda, I'm so proud of you!!
  • Kemper, the world-class papa bear here at War Time Christmas Cottage, made dinner: Scotch eggs, roasted root veggies, and a salad.
  • Gracie, my favorite girl, made a vintage rice pudding recipe!
  •  We recycled old newspapers into Christmas wrapping paper.

Our tree with all homemade ornaments.
Candy transformed!

She's a Master! Sic 'Em, Amanda!

My best friend is a great cook!
