Christmas for All Ages...

Saturday night was when Santa comes to see the kids in Sadieville. This year the caboose is being restored under the direction of my hubby, the Mayor Pro-Tem of Sadieville. So the firetruck drove Santa to Sadieville and he greeted the kids. Then he climbed into the caboose to visit with each child individually. The youngest visitor was a little baby just 2 weeks old. The most senior was my dear mum-in-law, Bonnie. Claude got the pictures on his Blackberry since I forgot to take my camera!! Silly moi!!
We also trained Bonnie in the enjoyment of a truly Kentucky meal. We went to Fava's in Georgetown and she had a Kentucky hot brown. Yum!! Fava's is a neat little restaurant in Georgetown. It is a very old building. I believe it was originally a drug store and has been used continuously since it was built. Jeanne owns it now. She is originally from Louisiana. The first year we lived in Sadieville, the city of Georgetown made a snowman for each of the storefronts in downtown Georgetown. Each store actually decorated their snowman. They stayed in front of the stores until January of the next year. Then in February, if I remember correctly, they held an auction and sold all the snowmen and donated the money to 4 different charities. Claude and I went and purchased 2 snowpeople, a male and female version. They happen to both be made by Fava's. They sit in our front yard each year as part of our decorations.
