Welcome to Laurel's Playground
Laurel is entertained by other things like travel, flower gardening, Drinking
Wine, Eating Chocolates, etc.
I have discovered Department 56. I am the wife
of a home brewer. Read about my endurance.
I also just love my family.
Department 56
One day, I was doing a little shopping and went into a Department 56 shop.
Generally, fun to look, but too expensive for my own tastes. But,
I stumbled across a cider house. Knowing how much apple cider Mark
makes, I felt compelled to get it. That was the beginning.
Today, I set up in Mark's brewery ... you can see my tables along the right
side of the Christmas theme park has in the brewery.
.
Here are some other close up pictures. In general, we start with
autumn harvest time, move into Halloween, then into winter and Christmas.
I am beginning to imagine a need for Springtime and Summer.

My Family
Christmas Time, 2008
My Husband (Mark) has the cat (Shadow), and the kids (Erik and Diana)
are hinding in the back.
I bravely participated. Luckily, the Dog (Xena) could not be
found at the time of this photo opprotunity.
