Going to this always delightful, ‘Holiday Open House’, hosted by a real lovely family, has been a firm ‘Thanksgiving’ tradition with us for the last nine or ten years. Once we discovered it, we have been going, faithfully & with glee, every year bar the absence forced by COVID-19. They, however, have been holding this multi-vendor Open House for longer. This, bar COVID, was probably their 18th, if not 19th. IF it was the 20th I am sure we would have seen some signage. I bet, the BIG 20 is next year.

Not far from our house, about 1.8-miles (I think). I walked back & gotting in all my steps for the day in the process.

We typically go around lunchtime ‘Black Friday’. We couldn’t this year. We had other commitments both Friday & Saturday. This morning, i.e., Sunday, was the only time we could make it. As we had feared most of the stuff had already been sold. That was what we had expected. On the other hand, it wasn’t mobbed either. I heard that it was packed all day yesterday. So, there was that. We could take our time slowly wending through the rooms (all with exquisite pastoral views).

It was, as always, good & rewarding. We bought a few things. SMILE. Now looking forward to next year.
