I have two sets in my family room..one over the fireplace and one decorating the family room where it changes from dining to living area.<br />I had a choice when I married Frank, nearly ten years ago...let them stay stacked in the garage..or pay homage to the beautiful animal that was sacrificed. I chose to pay homage.<br />My husband was a hunter..for the meat..my family have been hunters for as long as I can remember..that was just our lifestyle.<br />I totally understand those who don't like them..but I find them beautiful..and to throw them in the dump, I just could not do.<br />So..they grace my walls.<br /><br />It's all in how you look at it.<br />Of course mine are complete..not just one. They remind me of Frank and who he was...perhaps that is why I will always cherish them.<br /><br />I loved the way you sat your's out..SO Texas! :) The badge. :)<br />Made me smile. <br />Animals have fed us and kept us warm for centuries...and for a long time I probably wouldn't have used them either..but..I've changed..and treasure them now.<br /><br />Of course I love everything you do, as always. <br />Raining here and we are in a state of emergency in Riverside (where I live) and S.B County...<br />The ten ft. deep drainage ditch is nearly full. Only about a ft. to go.<br />Sending you hugs and a Merry Christmas! Save me a piece of that banana bread, and I am still in my Jammies and slips but I'll be over in a bit. ok?<br />MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369681864114551968.post-8436073047843441992010-12-22T10:27:52.862-06:002010-12-22T10:27:52.862-06:00Good mornin', sweet BJ!

I love the holly in the smucker's jar. ;)<br /><br />And I had to chuckle when I read that it was in the 70s down your way. It's in the teens and twenties here in the early morning hours. We've already had two light snowfalls! But that's OK with me — makes it feel more like Christmas.<br /><br />Anyway, I just wanted to wish you, Mr. Sweet and the whole Sweet clan a very blessed and Merry Christmas!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Liz @ the Brambleberry Cottage<br />http://thebrambleberrycottage.blogspot.com/Liz @ the Brambleberry Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15884107407813083090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369681864114551968.post-82704739705137038292010-12-22T10:02:46.542-06:002010-12-22T10:02:46.542-06:00-clapping hands- The blog look is still here!!!!!...-clapping hands- The blog look is still here!!!!!! :-) Awwwwwwwww, thank you, Sweetie!!!<br /><br />Gentle Christmas hugs...Auntie sezzzzzz...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16170232476926222740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369681864114551968.post-47441653010201143462010-12-22T09:51:45.746-06:002010-12-22T09:51:45.746-06:00Lots of festive rubies here.
